School’s Out for Summer 2.0: Week 7

SOS4 Summer vacation is quickly coming to an end, which means the routine of the school year will soon begin again. Almost time to prepare shift to bed times, before and after school care arrangement, homework time, school supply shopping, maybe even new schools, uniforms, etc. The list goes on and on, don’t be caught off guard and unprepared for the shift. Start today, if you haven’t already preparing and participating in activities and events offered by your child’s school.

Still gathering feedback from teachers and wanted to share some tips this week from elementary teacher Cami Fazio. Here’s what she said: Read with your kids daily, if not have them read on their own. I encourage parents to buy/look up fun and engaging math or reading computer games. Also, fluency flashcards for math are an affordable and useful way to study.

These tips can help add to your arsenal of useful tips to combat summer learning loss. Even though summer is winding down, I encourage you to continue your summer learning activities. Implement these tips with ease and help your children prepare to get back into the swing of things for the new school year.
