Summer Work. Have a great summer!

Transcription

1 Summer Work Below are some resources to help support your student during the summer break. None of this is mandatory, but it is highly encouraged. Students need to continue to strengthen their literacy and numeracy skills throughout the summer break. If you have any specific questions, please contact your student s classroom teacher. 1. Use the Raz- Kids resource (which will be available to students all summer) to have your student practice their reading 2. Have your student keep a journal and write in it daily. Depending on your student start with just two or three sentences a day. Please make sure to encourage their writing by sharing that keeping a journal is something that great writers do, and that it needs to be neat so that others can read their work. 3. Use the BPCS summer reading list to have your student read daily! You may also have them the following activities: a. Retell the story by saying the important details of the beginning, middle and end. b. Identify the characters, setting and plot c. Make up an alternate outcome d. Write a short reflection on which characters they did/did not like and why. 4. Have your student practice reading the sight words that were sent home this winter. 5. Use the math calendar to practice a math skill each day. Please note that the math calendar provides one problem a day, but students should be given a chance to answer 2-3 similar questions. Have a great summer!
