Information for Parents

Welcome Parents!

First, I want to say how much I enjoy working with your children.  It is a real joy to see them learn and grow.  There is nothing more exciting than watching them find that "Ah ha!" moment. 

This page will be dedicated to providing you with ideas and resources for you to use with your child.  As summer vacation is fast approaching, many of you are wondering what you can do to help your child to maintain what he/she has learned this year.  If you do nothing else: Read, read, read with your child.  Read to him, read with him, listen to him read to you.  Discuss what you read, discuss the pictures, talk about how the story is like something else you've read...  Read, read, read.

I have posted many "Freebies" on my blog.  These are materials that I have created and used in the classroom.  For your convenience I will compile them onto this page.  Please print them out for your child to use at home or on vacation.  Have fun!


PS  Sorry - this is a page, and it is vey long.  Scroll down to see everything.  Stop back from time to time to see what's new.
