By the end of the school year, everyone is ready for summer vacation, children, teachers and parent alike! A change of routine is welcome and there are ways to continue to support learning while away from the formal classroom.
In addition to summer school, summer vacations, and summer camps, consider these ideas:
- Reading - read daily. Read a book with your child or have your child read to a younger child.
- Gardening - allowing your child to plant his/her own garden or help you with the family garden provides a perfect opportunity to apply the science curriculum to everyday experiences.
- Summer jobs - both at home, and for older children, in the neighborhood present valuable opportunities for children to learn responsibility and the value of saving money.
- Grandparents - If your child has grandparents in the area, have your child plan a day of fun with a special grandparent or other special person.
If you are looking for summer program information, please stop by the school office for information on local programs offered.
