Let’s talk about Summer. I look forward to it with the same mix of excitement for vacation and sadness about the school year ending that students do. It is a long break, though, and it can be difficult to keep kids learning, exploring and creating. In the next couple of weekly notes I will be sharing some handy resources and easy ideas to keep our kids engaged and growing.
Multnomah County Library has great Summer programming for kids and a fun reading challenge with game boards, t-shirts and prizes. I will be in town for much of the break and plan on meeting up with students at the library from time to time. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram (@LewisRoom24, if you don’t), I will announce dates and times for us to meet at the Woodstock library to share books we are reading!
Your student’s login to their Google Apps account will stay active over the summer. I will set them up with a summer diary document that they can add to over the break. Also, kids love making slideshow presentations on the computer and they can easily create some to document your summer adventures. Students can access to their accounts from library computers, too!
Homework over the coming weeks will be Math puzzles and ideas that you can easily do all during the Break. This week Sudoku.
