Dear Parents, It s almost Summer time and we are all so excited! I know everyone is looking forward to relaxing, and maybe even a vacation. Unfortunately, for many students, studies show that students can lose up to2 months of learning during summer vacation. Your student has worked so hard this year, and I want them to be completely ready for next year. I am sending this packet home in the hopes that you will work with them a bit each day. Together, I know we can ensure your child is ready for their next school year! Please have them return this packet on to my classroom. Thank you so much!
