Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Christmas vacation! Can you believe the 2nd quarter is almost halfway done? Time is really flying!
We wanted to wish a very special happy birthday to Laila! She celebrated on January 4th.
Have a great week, and feel free to email me any time with questions or concerns: [email protected]
REMINDERS:
- Encourage your child to READ every night to strengthen their skills. Don’t forget you can have them read all different things – the back of a cereal box, a favorite book, a magazine, a comic book, a card, posters. Everything counts as practice!
- In order to help your child in math, it would be helpful to practice the basic addition facts daily, especially the doubles facts. This will help them to work quicker and more accurately.
