Weekly Update: Week of 6/4

Things to Know:

SLIDESHOW: I haven't forgotten to share the slideshow! I'm just trying to work through some issues. Every time I try to share it, the program crashes! *Ugh* I will let you know as soon as I get everything figured out! Moving on...
CLASSROOM CLEANOUT: We will be cleaning out our desks and lockers on Wednesday, June 6th. Please consider sending along an extra bag for bringing home any things that have been lingering in desks and lockers. Please continue to send your child with a backpack on Thursday, as we will be bringing home our memory books and a few other things on that day!
SEESAW: I have to admit...I have fallen behind in approving SeeSaw posts. I apologize! If you end up getting 1,000 notifications about things your child has posted, I apologize. It is my fault! (Can I use the phrase, "Better late than never" here? Pretty please?) 😇
LET'S KEEP IT GOING: Looking for ways to encourage your child to continue to keep up progress over the summer? Here are some ideas!
Did you know...On average, students lose 2 months of reading progress over the summer months?! 😢

SUMMER LEARNING IDEAS:

RAZ KIDS: Students have now been updated with their most recent reading levels on RazKids. To log in, visithttps://www.kidsa-z.com/main/Login and use the teacher name abrignac0. Your child's name should appear on the screen.
VISIT THE WENTWORTH LIBRARY: Over the summer, there are MANY summer programs offered for kids and adults of all ages!
SUMMER LIBRARY AT SOMERSET: On select Wednesdays during the summer, our school library will be open to students and families. Students can check out books, chat with friends and staff, and play on the playground afterward! *Come and stop by on JULY 11 to see Mrs. Brignac and baby Michael at the library!* (Due to a scheduling conflict, I had to change my volunteer date. I will no longer be at the library on August 8.)
GET HOOKED ON A BOOK SERIES: Now that your child has learned to read, it's time to get them hooked on a great book series! Visit THIS LIST for some great ideas of series perfect for 2nd graders!
DREAMBOX: Dreambox will be available to use all summer long. If you need assistance access the app, take a look at this information page for helpful tips!

CAMP FIRST GRADE IS HERE!

On Friday, students brought sleeping bags. It was so much fun! That being said, students should now leave sleeping bags at home. We have many more fun activities planned though! :-)
