2014-2015 School Year Information
Hello Parents and Students!
This summer we
are requiring
students to read at least 2 Dorothy Canfield Fisher (DCF)
books. One
book, Wonder
by R.J. Palacio, provided
for you free of charge, to
be picked up on or after August 1st
at the Milton Public Library.
A second book can be chosen from the (DCF)
Book Award List. Please visit
http://libraries.vermont.gov/libraries/cbec/dcf
for
more information about the books, including recommended ages and
descriptions.
A letter with further explanation of our required reading will be
also be sent to your homes.
Our
current students have received an intervention letter from math
department with information about this summer. We recommend that all
incoming sixth graders spend about 20 minutes 2-3 times per week on
skills, which can be done by accessing on line web sites such as Khan
Academy, Grand Prix Raceway at
http://www.mathplayground.com/ASB_GrandPrixMultiplication.html,
or any sites you find that pique your interest. Another option is
grade level math practice books that can be picked up at bookstores.
I have used both McGraw Hill and Spectrum. Practice will make a
difference!
