Dear Parents/Guardians:
This fall your child will be entering second grade. I am recommending that your child should master by the start of second grade the attached list of sight words. Your child should be able to read as well spell these words.
I also would like your child to choose their favorite animal and then read one or more books about it. Your child should be able to share what it looks like, where it lives, any special traits it has to survive, what it eats and any other interesting facts. They should become an expert about the animal that they have chosen. This will help them to write an informational paragraph about their favorite animal early on in the school year.
Let’s not forget those math skills. Use flashcards to practice addition and subtraction facts to 18. Math facts should be memorized. Counting on their fingers is discouraged. ABCya and Math Playground are fun websites to practice these facts in a game setting. Take advantage of opportunities for your child to count change and begin to tell time during the summer months. Look for patterns wherever you may be.
Enjoy the summer. I look forward to meeting you in the fall.
