First Grade - Mrs. Bogert

"The Bears' Picnic" by Stan and Jan Berenstein
"Bedtime for
"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin and Eric Carle
"Caps for
"Freckle Juice" by Judy Blume
"If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" by Laura Joffe Numeroff
"The Listening Walk" by Paul Showers
"The Little Engine That Could" by Watty Piper
"
"Play Ball, Amelia Bedelia" by Peggy Parish
"Quick as a Cricket" by Audrey Wood
"Ten Apples Up On Top" by Theodore LeSieg
"There's an Alligator Under My Bed" by Mercer Mayer

Remember, the best gift you can give to your child is the love of learning! Read to them and have them read to you. Easy Readers and Dr. Seuss books are a great place to begin.
You might also want to purchase workbooks (usually available at Borders, BJ's Warehouse Club, etc.) and spend 15 minutes each day with your child reviewing the material in the workbook.
Have a safe and happy summer! See you in September!
