Believe it or not, summer is right around the corner! This is the time of year we all look forward to some unstructured downtime with thoughts of school a million miles away. At Glen Stewart Primary, we want to ensure that all students maintain the gains made this year.
What can you do to make sure your child does not regress over the summer?
- Ask your child’s teacher for suggestions on books and activities for summer learning specific to your child. If your child is struggling in a particular subject, summer is a great time to go back and remediate. This can bridge the learning gaps and build their confidence.
- Make summer learning a part of your schedule. Reading should take place each and every day!
- Even the best parents can become overwhelmed and exhausted with a long, unstructured break. Consider hiring a tutor who can create an individually tailored plan to keep your child’s summer packed with educationally stimulating activities. Many students work better when the teacher isn’t mom or dad.
- Paper/pencil tasks are not best for all children. Consider apps for iPad, iPhone or other electronic devices and educational games to keep your child engaged.
- Make summer learning fun…cook with your children, plant a garden, have a family book club, make a summer scrapbook!
Summer!
