Tips to keep growing academically
Consejos para seguir creciendo academicamente
If you don't use it, you will lose it! Si no practican, perderan el progreso que han hecho.
Many of our students made wonderful growth in reading, writing and in math this year. After students learned a skill they were asked to practice, practice and practice. Studies have shown that if students don't practice what they have learned on a continuous basis, they can lose 2 months or more of growth over the summer. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to help your child continue to practice what they have learned over the summer.
Los estudiantes mostraron mucho progreso a travez del año escolar en la lectura, la escritura y en las matemáticas. Después de aprender un concepto nuevo, los niños tenían que practicar lo que aprendieron. Algunos estudios han mostrado que durante del verano, un estudiante puede perder 2 meses o mas de logro académico si no continua practicando estas disciplinas. Por ese motivo, les pedimos que por favor procuren que su hijo/a siga practicando y desarollando su lectura, escritura y la matemática .
READING - your child's reading level should be listed on the report card.
Writing - Have your child keep a summer journal.
