Home Fun and Learning
Summer is a time for your child to rest, relax, explore, and have a lot of fun. To help them stay prepared for 1st grade, here are some helpful ideas for the summer:
​
-
Read for 15 minutes every day! This is super important for keeping their reading skills strong.
-
Write for 10 minutes a day in a summer journal. They can write about anything they do or see!
-
