...........I want to thank you for your support this year. It makes my heart so happy to see the children everyday! May your holiday season be filled with love, Joy and Happy wishes with your families.
I wish you a blessed and meaningful Christmas and look forward to seeing you next year!! Thank you for your thoughtfulness and very generous gifts ....!!!
*********************************As we approach our Christmas break - I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support of your child's education. Over the break, I encourage you to set aside a little time to review and practice basic addition and subtraction facts with your child. I want to emphasize the importance of mastering basic addition and subtraction facts. These foundational skills are critical for your child's success in more advanced concepts, such as double digit addition and subtraction, solving multi - step word problems. When they have a solid grasp of basic math facts, they can: solve problems more efficiently. This also gives them confidence to tackle new challenges without hesitation. This can be accomplished with flashcards and or even real world activities like counting holiday treats or managing change at the store. ~Consistent practice will make a noticeable difference in their fluency and readiness for more challenging math tasks. Thank you - wishing you and your family a joyful and restful holiday season.
Together we can help them build the confidence and skills they need to succeed. Reading is always a given.......... then read some more...!!!!
