Keep your child's brain developing over the summer break, especially when it comes to math and reading skills!
Students need to stay engaged
in fun learning activities, and keep their bodies tuned, so their minds
stay sharp!
Every child needs to play outside every day and find fun ways to exercise indoors if the
weather keeps them in. Keeping the mind exercised can be a little more challenging, so here are a few ideas to keep children thinking all summer long!
Board games such as chess and checkers~ Car games such as Buzz, I Spy and 20 Questions~ are all fun and easy to play.
Baxter Memorial offers a Summer Reading Challenge and many other public libraries offer programs that run all summer long with great incentives!
Barnes & Noble Summer Reading and TD Bank Summer Reading programs can also be a great incentive for young readers!
Bedtime Math- Fun problems for the whole family!
Wonder of the Day!
Sparklebox- Literacy Resources
Talk Often with your child and point out reading materials
wherever possible: Read menus, magazines and newspapers,
signs, brochures, maps, guidebooks, smart phones, ipads, etc.
