SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE! Yay for Summer! BUT one of the biggest issues with Summer break is retention! Students always forget things over the summer! I always have parents that ask for ways to help their students learning!
Here is some options or things to work on! 1. ALWAYS READ! – If I could choose anything for you to work on all summer it would be reading! Reading skills seem to depreciate over the summer and this is a life long skill! – Go to your local library and check out some of these books: Junie B. Jones Series Magic Tree House Series The School is Alive Series Judy Moody or Stink Series My Weirdest School series Geronimo Stilton or Thea Stilton Series
2. Prodigy! – This program will contue to challenge your kids at their level! I am going to set some standards over the summer for them to work on, but I am also going to set them to 3rd grade. That way the questions will either be review from difficult concepts this year, or new concepts for next year! ** PLUS IT IS SO FUN! Summer should be fun!
3. Reflex or Print off math sheets at math-drills.com – The goal for a second grader is to be able to do about 24 mixed problems to 9 in addition or subtraction in a minute. This is an excellent skill to continue working on! Also in 3rd grade they begin multiplication memorization skills! So math-drills.com is a great place to find some sheets to practice those times tables.
If you need additional resources, please let me know! I can see what I can do! 🙂 Most importantly! Have fun this summer and make lots of memories! I love you all and wish you the best in your future endeavors! Don’t be shy and come visit me next year too!

Last week during library I talked with your kiddo’s about summer reading programs & have shown them websites to log into & reading trackers to print off.The following is for Scholastic’s summer reading challenge. The challenge is to have the most summer reading minutes logged as a school. All the information is on the website for parents to read. Click on student log in:
Enter Username & password
Click on “my minutes” & start recording those minutes.
There’s even a time on the page that the kids can use to help keep a more accurate record of their minutes. It’s pretty cool. ☺
