For many children, learning slows way down (or even stops) during the summer months. And a total educational unplug can cause students to lose some of the information that was learned that year, but engaging in a little bit of learning can help when kids dive back into school in the fall.
Learning all summer long? Don’t panic! We are not suggesting year-round schooling. We are talking about consciously striving to provide learning opportunities each day to keep kids’ academic skills sharp. Join us as we explore digital and reading resources, hands-on activities, and fun recipes we have to help combat the summer slide.
