Instructional Ideas

• Coordinate with the grade level teachers a year above or below you to create a requirement involving some of these summer activities
• Hand this out during the last week of school to students or parents

Classroom Considerations

• There aren't many supporting materials to go with these activities, but for the most part, they aren't necessary; you could create a few items to further encourage pupils to participate in the activities
• You will find a nice resource for the summer reading portion in the materials, which lays out an eight-week literacy plan that you can provide for students and parents

Pros

• Comes with a variety of different activities to choose from that are all fun, but still tap into skills pupils learn throughout the school year
• The activities also encourage learners to go outside and explore

Cons

• None
