All incoming 1st graders are responsible for the following assignments. We have put together a summer packet of work for your child. Summer work is planned to assist your child in forming good study habits that would keep them fresh on skills necessary moving into first-grade. All work is based on what was taught in Kindergarten. We designed the work so that your child can work 2 or 3 days a week for 45-60 minutes. With a consistent plan your child will not find this taxing. Please have these assignments completed and returned on the first week of school as they will count toward a classwork grade.

Please open the document for more information. If you need another copy of the packet, please reach out to one of the first-grade teachers or administration.


Math and ELA Packet – The activities in this book will review the kindergarten skills and prepare students for the skills they will learn in first grade. You may complete the packets at your convenience; however, they must be fully completed and returned the first week of school.
Journal Writing – Please purchase a journal for your child for weekly writing. Your child should write in their journal twice a week, choosing a new prompt from the attached calendar each time. Students should be writing 2-3 sentences per prompt and checking for correct capitalization, punctuation, complete sentences, and their neatest handwriting. (here is a suggested journal https://a.co/d/7EqsYzk but one from the dollar store will do as well)
Reading – Each student is required to read 2 specific books and complete a report for one of them. In addition to the required readings, your child should also enjoy reading fiction/fantasy books and nonfiction/informative books throughout the summer.
Math Facts and Sight Words – In addition to the required assignments, students should be practicing their math facts and sight words throughout the summer. You can find math fact activities and sight word activities at the link: https://pin.it/KhgGasdEi.

• You will find an attached sheet with the sight words students should know going into first grade. Math facts practiced should be facts 1-10.
