Summer Learning

Traditionally, summer has been a time to relax and refresh bodies and minds; a time to wonder and explore…play and discover. Sunshine and swimming; sand and surf; longer, lazier, less-structured days with space for social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Those days are more vital now, than ever, and we hope you enjoy the myriad informal learning opportunities all around you. It has been a challenging time—and students and families need to recharge.

That said, it’s also important to stay connected academically and retain valuable skills over the summer. To that end, we have put together a variety of resources to engage and enrich our learners. Students will have the opportunity to inquire and reflect, practice and review, as well as challenge themselves with critical and creative thinking tasks.

A little can go a long way, and small moves have great power. In the coming weeks, consider small increments of daily practice with literacy and numeracy skills to maintain academic growth. Be sure to:

  • Read, read, read—every day.
  • Allow for lots of choice—this fosters agency, independence, motivation, and achievement.
  • Notice math, strategy and problem solving in your daily lives.
  • Encourage students’ interests, curiosities and passions.
  • Talk with your kids—frequently—this increases vocabulary, sharpens thinking, and develops confidence.
  • Engage in wellness activities.

 

Above all, remember what author Anna Quindlen said: “Doing nothing is something”.

Have a wonderful summer!
