I wanted to thank everyone for all the well wishes and presents during the last week of school. This was a very sweet and thoughtful class. I will miss everyone who is moving up or moving away. I hope everyone is enjoying their first few days of summer.
I would like to stress the importance of summer learning. Attached is a video link explaining why it is so important for students to continue to use their brains during the summer. If they don’t their is a significant loss in the reading abilities and cognitive skills that will cause them to fall behind their peers and is difficult to catch up again. Please watch this 2 minute visual of what can happen if students don’t continue to learn.
What can you do to stop this?!
My blog has many learning opportunities. There is Moby Max, Front Row, Study Island, an interactive science section. The students know how to log in to all of the programs. If they have trouble the log in information is on the blog or email me and I will try to help. They can write stories, letters or postcards. I would love to see their stories or letters! Send them to me via Google Docs or my email. Take trips to the museums or science centers. Most public libraries have a summer reading program with activities and prizes for reading. Get out there and have fun and keep those brains moving!!!
Enjoy your summer and keep me posted about your vacations and activities! See you in the fall.
