Thank you, also, parents and guardians for being part of the team, working with us and supporting your child! It truly takes a village!
To keep learning happening over the summer – READ, COUNT, ADD, SUBTRACT, PLAY OUTSIDE – notice math, reading and art in the community and on your outings. Take your child grocery shopping! Have them help around the home with jobs and chores. Show your child how you use reading and math in everyday life! Visit your local Library Branch, Green space (including the Taylor Evans Forest!), Humane Society, river, etc. Sincerely and best wishes for a safe and active summer,
Mr. Keesmaat, Mr. Wagner and Mrs. Broadhead
