Dear Parents,
It is so hard to believe that we are at the end
of First Grade. The children have worked so hard, and made so many leaps and
bounds this year. I am extremely proud
of them. Each one of my children holds a very special place in my heart. As promised
I have made a list of some suggested workbooks that you can practice with over
the summer as well as some websites you can visit. Also I have compiled a
Summer Reading list, just in case you want to purchase or barrow some books
over the summer. I will be away over the summer, but if you should have any
questions or concerns please feel free to e-mail me: morahgaby@mazeldayschool.com
Sincerely,
Morah Gaby
