Summer Fun and Summer Gains
Summer is certainly a special season, especially for kids. For me, it was long days at the Jersey shore building sandcastles and playing on sand bars for hours, catching fireflies in the backyard during hot summer nights, and plenty of unscheduled time to explore, create, and have fun. We at Wildwood hope all of our students and their families have a fun, memorable summer break.
With summer break just 3.5 school days away, now is a great time to make a plan to ensure that the academic gains your child made this school year are maintained, and that your child is positioned for success when school begins in August. An easy way to do this is to set aside a small block of time each day for your child to practice reading, writing, and math skills. There are many engaging, age-appropriate resources available to help you with this. Summer bridging activity books like the ones linked HERE are popular choices for many families, and CVUSD will be sending a flyer home in your child's report card on the last day of school that highlights some online options. Of course, daily reading is one of the best ways to help your child build literacy skills that are proven to improve performance across all subjects.
We thank all of you for another successful school year at Wildwood, and we look forward to connecting again with you in August. Until then, detach, unwind, and enjoy!
Warmly,
Mr. Lynch

Hello Wildwood Families!
What an incredible year in STEAM. The kids had so much fun and we got to explore and do so many things this year. As we wrap up STEAM, I want to say a HUGE thank you to all my parent volunteers that came week after week not knowing what they were walking in to! I appreciate you so much and could not do STEAM without your consistent and reliable help and support. To the families that donated things for classes-thank you!! I am so grateful for your support as well. As you know the STEAM program is 100% funded by the PTA, so thank you to all who donated to the Jog-A-Thon or submitted matching requests or did a direct donation in the fall. The kids love it, and we couldn't do it without you!
With gratitude,
Mrs. Casey
