SUMMER LEARNING!
The "summer slide" is the learning loss that can happen when
students take a long break from school. Here are some ways
to prevent summer slide!

Bake or cook a meal. Double or halve the recipe ingredients to practice fractions.
Read comics or graphic novels, then draw the next chapter.
Use a budget to plan a family game night or daily meal menu.
Play games like Scrabble, Yahtzee, or Settlers of Catan to practice logic, math, and spelling.
Participate in one or more of the programs below

Welcome, parents and guardians!
