Thank you children and parents for a wonderful school year! I will treasure my special "class tree" for years to come. My gifts and your kind words mean so much to me and I can't thank you all enough for your generosity!

Be on the look out for an email that contains a math packet for summer work. The packet is to be turned in to your second grade teachers on the first week of school.

For my kiddos: Get on First in Math throughout the summer! I hope it still allows you to login throughout the summer? Not 100% sure about that but there is always addition and subtraction flash cards! Some fun math websites are: Funbrain, coolmath4kids.com, khanacademy.org, and brain pop.

Read and write as much as you can over the summer months! Have kids discuss and write about the setting, characters, problem in the story , what happens in the beginning, middle, and end , reaction to the story, etc. Stretch their minds to write more, especially about their summer adventures!

Have a fun, fantastic summer! 
Love, Mrs. DiFlorio
