Wow it's been a great year! I can't believe we have only one day left! I wanted to share some resources with you that will hopefully help your child avoid the "summer slide". Here is a little information on summer slide:
Experts agree that children who read during the summer gain reading skills, while those who do not often slide backward. According to the authors of a report from the National Summer Learning Association: "A conservative estimate of lost instructional time is approximately two months or roughly 22 percent of the school year.... It's common for teachers to spend at least a month re-teaching material that students have forgotten over the summer. That month of re-teaching eliminates a month that could have been spent on teaching new information and skills."
Here are some resources you can check out to gather some ideas that might work for your family this summer.
If you have any further questions please ask!
have a wonderful summer everyone! Morgan has loved being your classmate and she will miss you. Take good care of yourselves, your families and keep on learning and working hard. And always remember to smile and have fun!
