Dear Incoming First Graders,
I hope you had a fantastic year in Kindergarten! I am looking forward to having you as a student in the new school year. This packet will help you get ready for first grade.
Please read IF You Give A Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff. Use the worksheets provided to complete your summer packet. We have a worksheet for the beginning letter sounds, ending letter sounds, read and color the picture, two unscramble the sentences, and a sequencing worksheet. Read as often as you can. Take 15 minutes a day to read with your child. 15 minutes 3-5 days a week will hopefully improve their reading skills. Look for Kindergarten sight words in any book you read. Let them become "Word Detectives" and spot their sight words.
There is a math packet that can be completed to help with the "Summer Slide". Please feel free to go to our office and pick up a copy if you are a newly entering student.
Have a fun summer and can't wait to hear of the adventures you made together as a family!
Please return all completed work during the first day of school.
I am so lucky to have you in first grade with me!!!! I am looking forward to an exciting fun filled year with you!
Mrs. Nelson
