Slow Start to Year

Just a quick note to say that we miss you all!  Hopefully we will be back to school soon, but in the meantime, here are a few things you can do to prepare:

1. Spend 15 min a day reviewing basic math facts: addition, subtraction, and multiplication.  Try websites like multiplication.com.
2. READ, READ, READ! Pick a novel to end the summer.  Try something light and fun, but at grade level.  Try the Artemis Fowl or Percy Jackson series.
3. Have you held a pencil this summer?  Rarely, I bet.  Grab a pencil and write something: a grocery list, a chore list, your Fall schedule, a letter.
4. Learn a new word every day.  Check out http://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day/ and try to use it.  Write a sentence with it.
5. Play Sudoku, do a crossword, play scrabble.

Enjoy the sunshine!
