Our last week of Grade One!

 


Dear Parents,

As we come to the close of an exciting and productive school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your unwavering support and partnership. It has been a true pleasure to watch your children grow and develop over the past year.

Highlights of the Year:

  • Academic Growth: Your children have made incredible strides in reading, writing, and math. Their curiosity and enthusiasm have been inspiring, and they’ve achieved so much in a short time.
  • Social Development: It's been wonderful to see friendships bloom and social skills improve. We've focused on kindness, sharing, and teamwork, which are crucial at this stage.
  • Creativity and Critical Thinking: The students have engaged in numerous creative projects and problem-solving activities, which have helped them develop important critical thinking skills.

Summer Tips: To maintain this momentum, I encourage you to engage your children in activities that reinforce their learning. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Reading: Regular reading is essential. Visit the local library, and let your child choose books that interest them.
  • Math Games: Play fun math-related games to keep their skills sharp.
  • Exploration: Encourage curiosity by exploring nature, science experiments, and creative arts and crafts.

Looking Ahead: As your child transitions to the next grade, know that they are well-prepared for the challenges and adventures that lie ahead. They have a strong foundation and the skills needed to succeed.  Next week I will be sending home a letter to help support, Reading, Writing and Math skills over the summer.  

Thank you once again for your trust and cooperation. It has been an honor to be a part of your child's educational journey. I wish you all a wonderful, restful summer and look forward to seeing the amazing things your children will accomplish in the future.

Warm regards,

Mrs Petramala
