Learning Goals
Dear parents,
Primary Montessori has put together a list of activities for your child to work on to prepare for the next grade. We strongly encourage your child to work on some of these skills throughout the summer so that they continue to maintain their knowledge base in these areas. We have included skills and websites they can go to, for practicing them.
A good rule of thumb would be to spend 30 minutes reading every day, and practice a math skill.
Thank you for your continued support to help your child be successful.
