Dunes Pictures and Summer notes

MATH WEBSITES:
  Your child received 4 pgs of websites to work on math concepts over the summer. I strongly encouraged them to visit these sites and work on concepts they had difficulties with. They are pretty self-aware and know what those are. 

SUMMER READING: 
I know you hear this every year, but READ! READ! READ!
Yes, it DOES make a difference. Your children will be expected to read an increasing amount of material, both fiction and non-fiction over the next few years. Increasing their speed will help them complete work more quickly (which they will be quite happy about!)
Reading frequently also increases vocabulary which is critical to comprehension. Improvement in reading, like improvement in sports, comes with practice. 

LAST WORDS ABOUT THE YEAR: 
  I have truly enjoyed the time with your children. Getting to know them as individuals, watching them grow and learn academically and socially. It has been such a fun class! I will miss them, but luckily I will definitely be seeing many of them around! 

6th Grade:
  They will LOVE next year!!!!
Follow the rules, work hard, and be responsible, and next year will be a successful year for all!
