����������� ������������������ Jump into a Summer of
LearningDear Families, Summer is here and we are all ready to play, vacation, and spend time with our families and friends. Time for fun and relaxation are important, but we also know that many weeks away from school can cause learning to be lost. The following activities are not meant to mimic school or overwhelm you or your child. Rather, the activities will help students maintain healthy habits such as reading daily, writing, and practicing math facts! Please return this packet next school year. We can’t wait to meet you!

A Note to Teachers All children experience learning losses if they do not engage in summer learning opportunities. Studies dating back to 1906 find that all children score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do when it begins.
This short packet can help prevent your students from losing learning momentum. This packet has easy to complete activities that will allow children to take a well-earned break but also continue to learn and grow throughout the summer.
This packet can be sent home on the last day of school and returned on the first week back to school. It is designed to send home with students and be just enough homework to engage students, but not so much it overwhelms students and families.
You can copy this packet double sided to save paper. Be sure however, to copy the flashcards single sided so students can cut them out to practice.
