SUMMER READING/MATH
While there is not a required reading list for Preschool, we trust you will continue reading aloud to your child every day. Local libraries offer summer reading programs for preschool age children. We will have a small prize for each child that returns their completed summer reading club certificate during the first week of school. We also recommend Bedtime Math (http://bedtimemath.org/) either as an app or a book for the Threes and Pre-K students.
