Summer Is Almost Here

The weather hasn't shown it well, but we are close to the end of our 1st grade year We've all done a lot of growing! As far as I can see, it has been a positive experience for all of us. This next week is the last week we will do spelling, vocabulary, etc. work. The final week we will clean up, go to the Roy Aquatic Center, present plays to each other, and other fun things.

I just wanted to pass on a tip that might help your child understand when to use the "oy" or "oi" spelling, which we are studying this week. In our list this week the "oy" is always used at the end of the word, and the "oi" is followed by a consonant. Parents, thanks for all your work. Thanks for what you do for us.

And thanks for all your support throughout the year. With last weeks tests I sent home a page from the superintendent about the summer reading program. Please note that this year the Barnes and Noble in Layton will donate a free book--from the list on the back of the page--to any child who reads 10 grade level books or 1000 pages over the summer. You may want to keep that chart handy, so you'll remember t0 write book names and page numbers during the summer.

Hope you have a great summer! Stop by and say "Hi" in the fall.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Reeder
