Summer Slide

This is the only summer slide I want our children experiencing this summer!  The students have made such wonderful progress.  We don't want them to lose any of the learning they have worked so hard to achieve.  If children don't read over the summer months, they can lose up to three months of progress.  Please don't let this happen.  In the children's last day bags, there was a summer learning packet.  The review packet is filled with reading, writing, spelling, and math activities to help the students sharpen and maintain their skills.  Also, don't forget the blog!  The top button bar for the blog has tons of FUN and ENGAGING ways to keep those little minds sharp.  RazKids is available all summer and so is Reading Rainbow.  Get involved with a summer reading program through the public library or Barnes and Noble.  Use our school district's free e-library to check out books on your devices.  There are so many great ways to keep reading.  Also, the Learning Links tab at the top of the blog will take students to interactive web games.  Last, don't forget about the app suggestions.  There are some great apps for developing math fact fluency.  Keep learning and growing all summer!  It is not too late to complete the summer reading bingo or build stamina and fluency in reading, writing, and math.  It is the perfect time to ease back into the school schedule by starting August days with 30 minutes of school work.  Text or email if I can help in anyway!
