I'm so proud
I was your teacher.
I watched you
learn and grow.
We worked so hard,
and had such fun.
How fast the time did go!
Our year was interrupted,
and it seems too soon to part.
Just know that you will always
have a special place
within my heart.

Flashcards 
I frequently use flash cards in class to reinforce letter and number recognition.  For those of you with printers, it may be beneficial to print flashcards and have your child practice them.  If you do not have a printer, you can show your child the flashcards on the computer or you can make your own.

Physical Activity
From Mrs. Ferreri:

This is one of the children's favorite songs from physical activity:
"I'm so happy" 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUXk8Nc5qQ8&vl=en
Have children get up and dance to the music!

Here is a link for some ideas for physical activity with your child:

The children also loved when Mrs. Ferreri read "Hop on Pop."  Mrs. Ferreri suggests parents make up physical movements for their children to try.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPxN4iFN9Go
