Charlestown School Updates
For members of our learning community - July 14th, 2017
Enjoy the 6 more weeks of summer!!!
Summer Skills Practice
Students who engage in regular reading and math practice come back to school with less or no regression. We highly encourage all students to engage in some summer practice and review and to use the suggested formats and materials that we are sending home next week!
Reading for 20-30 minutes daily and practicing math skills and facts helps to avoid reading and math regression!
I'd love to share photos of our students reading and practicing math skills in various places in my next update. We brainstormed together at our last school-wide assembly and students thought of fun places to read such as...
In a boat
On the beach
Under a tree
Under their bed
Please email me a photo if you'd like your child to be included!
Kindergarten Registration and Class Placement
Class placement will begin soon.
