Dear Rossman Families
THANK YOU for an AMAZING school year! I can't believe how this year has flown by. I am continually reminded of the incredible community of students, parents, and families that support our work at Rossman. I am deeply grateful for your collaboration and vested interest in your student's success.
Have a safe and fun summer break!
Sails Up!

Each week, students turn in their Laker Tickets for a chance to be drawn and recognized for their work on meeting expectations.
Congratulations to this week's Laker Ticket Winners pictured below!

What Can We Do to Support Learning in the Summer?
READING:
- Read aloud with your child - Take turns reading a sentence or a page
- Encourage independent reading - Set aside time to read or look at books each day
- Model reading - Parents and families set the example for good reading habits
- Discuss what you read - Have a book club at the dinner table and talk about a great book you're reading
- Speak with your child using full sentences, and often. Use a variety of vocabulary and make learning new words fun.
- Visit the library - The Detroit Lakes Library has many events and activities for kids this summer!
- Provide a variety of reading materials - Have your student read recipes, news articles, menus, travel brochures, signs, anything with words!
- Celebrate progress - Set a reading goal this summer and have a little family celebration when you achieve it!
MATH:
- Encourage your student to use math skills whenever possible
- Money - Time - Fractions
- Calculate the total at the grocery store
- Practice working with fractions while baking
- Add up the miles you will travel on a family trip. How long will it take if we drive an average of ____ miles per hour? How much will it cost to fill up the car with gas?
- Use analog clocks whenever possible and ask your students a variety of questions about time

What are Game Days? We want/need our players to play on their own, not just at structured times with coaches. This is a skill that needs to be learned (how to make teams, call fouls, keep score, rotate players, etc). We also know kids enjoy playing games so we have set aside Thursdays for game days. We will have supervision and coaching guidance, but we hope this is as player-led as possible. It gets better each week with opportunity and practice! Families are welcome to any skills sessions or game day sessions.
