Entering Kindergarten Summer Packet

Dear Entering Kindergartners and Parents, Included in this packet are calendars and lists filled with fun activities to help keep your brains working and learning this summer. You can do as many of the activities as you are able to do each day or each week. Please find what works best for your family and enjoy trying some, repeating them if you find favorites, and making up your own learning games or ideas if you become creative! Please have your child color or place a sticker on the calendars of all of the Math and Reading/Writing Activities that they complete. We have also included some suggested books/series. There are a wide variety of books. Each child is ready for reading at many different stages at this age. Please choose what is best for your child and what is interesting to them. They may enjoy reading to you, but always remember that reading to them and together is also VERY beneficial in their early reading successes. A dot-to-dot page has been included as a fun reading incentive. Your child may connect one dot at a time for each book that they/you read over the summer. After they have read at least 28 books, they should color the finished scene to celebrate their great work! They may also like to record all of the books on the Reading Log to show their class. Please bring your packet with you when you come to see your classroom on Tuesday, August 11th! It will be exciting to see all of your learning fun from the summer! Happy Summer! Your Kindergarten Teachers
