Dear Parents,
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves to you. We are the Grade 1 Team, Mrs. Donovan and Miss Flynn. We know how hard you have been working with your child throughout the year. However, it is important to continue to work on reading and math skills over the summer. It is most important for your child to read or be read to every day. Keeping a summer journal is a way for your child to write about things they do each day. Included you will find ideas for both digital and non-digital activities.

It is unknown how many websites will continue to offer free access throughout the summer, but below are a few suggestions.

Mrs. Donovan and Miss Flynn
