With Summer Vacation just around the corner, now is the perfect time to check in with your child's teacher and see what s/he suggests your child works on over the loooooong break.     Does he need to memorize multiplication facts?    Does she need to improve comprehension? We'll check in every so often and give you FUN ways to STOP that SUMMER SLIDE.   To start you off, try something like this to make sure your child at least gets in some reading and writing every day. Happy Summer! (from 365 Teacher Secrets for Parents )
