Summer Work

• Go ahead and begin working on those
  multiplication tables.
• Remember to review addition and subtraction to
  20. Students should know those facts quickly.
• Do you ever have change in your pockets? Put it
  on the table and see if your child can count it.
  Maybe allow the child to have it if they can
  count it.

More Summer Suggestions

• Have your child write a few letters to
  grandparents or friends over the summer.
• Take pictures and have them journal about those
  pictures- maybe keep a scrapbook about your
  summer adventures.
• Read! Read! Read!- Spend time at the local
  library. Let your child have fun choosing age
  appropriate books!
