Summer is a time to relax and enjoy a break from our busy and hectic school days. However, many students lose up to 2 months of learning during the summer break. With that in mind I have started a summer learning file on dropbox which can be accessed and used at home to keep a young mind sharp.
I will continue to add to this file throughout the summer as I find more activities to get us ready for the challenges of 3rd grade.
In this file you will find Science experiments that can be done at home with materials that most of us have lying around the house. These are great activities for a rainy day. Encourage your child to explain his/her observations, predictions and results. Also in this file is a multiplication BUMP Game. Bump is a much loved game in the classroom and all the students are shrewd players. Have your child teach you how to play and begin working on your multiplication facts. There is also a summer packet that includes writing, reading, Task cards for different activities and recording of summer temperatures. Please encourage your child to try some of these activities.
