Encourage your child to keep their BRAINS SHARP over the summer. Make reading, math, and writing part of your daily routine. Keeping their brains active will help ease their transition to 3rd grade. "Summer Fever" wears off! Many students and parents comment on how boredom grows once kids have played all their games and watched endless amounts of TV.
In addition to the volumes of online resources that may be accessed through the Stellar Website, it has been my goal to make resources available for my students to provide extra practice on our class website. They have been introduced to these activities in class. Today they recorded their logins and passwords on a half-sheet of paper. Stapled to it is the CODE for the new Fraboom. These are ONLY resources. There are many other things you can do to make reading, writing, and math part of your life this summer.
READING Many bookstores and libraries have summer programs to promote reading. Today the kids took home information about the Barnes & Noble program.
MATH Find ways to incorporate math into your daily routine. Telling time, counting money, making change, solving number stories. counting up and back through 1000, skip counting.
WRITING Like reading, writing develops with practice. If writing is NOT part of their life, its a struggle in school too. Give your child a journal. Have them write about their summer adventures and fun. They can write letters. Ask them to write about a book they read.
