It is hard to believe summer is here. This has been a fast and exciting school year. I know your students are ready for a break. They have worked throughout the school year. It is time for a rest.
However, a little academic upkeep along with summer fun is not a bad thing. I would suggest you encourage any activity that includes reading and math. Fix a recipe, count the money in the “piggy bank”, write a diary/journal of the summer fun, write letters to friends, even play electronic games that have reading or math as part of the game. Any activity can become a learning experience. The trick is to look at it differently.
Summer will go by as fast as this school year has. Soon we will start again.
See you next year.
