How do you encourage students to continue learning over the summer?

The end of the school year is approaching and students cannot wait until summer vacation.  Teachers finally get a break they most definitely deserve (even though they’ll still be working and getting ready for next year!)!  However, parents want to make sure their children don’t forget everything they learned over the school year once their brains turn off school mode and turn on their summer vacation mode. 

Summer is a time for play and relaxation from school work for kids.  There are so many options that parents can choose from in order to make sure their kids stay active and engaged in some type of academia.  Family engagement can most definitely come from participating in educational activities. From creating clubs, to using educational apps together, families will create life long memories while teaching their kids the importance of education and families.

Summer vacation is something that everyone looks forward to.  As a parent, keeping your child engaged and up-to-date with their academics is an important task. Creating a laid-back environment for kids to learn helps them interact with other children as well as unwind from the stressful school year.  Families will be able to create bonds as they engage together involving children and fun educational apps, games, and clubs.

Starfall and ABCya (for young children) can be a great source of educational fun over the summer months.  For older children, Code.org or Tynker can get their brains thinking about programming, preparing them for the future.                                                                                      Really Good Teachers
