we have almost reached the finish line, but learning never stops! I am sure there will be many learning opportunities for you and your children over summer!
While I have to say it one more time: please read, read read all summer long! Read books, comics, magazines, the weather forecast, just read, read, read. I also want to encourage you to explore and discover something new. If you haven't tried Geocaching for example, it could be a great way to get outside and put your map reading skills to good use. We like to strategies and practice observation skills as much as patience and don't worry there are easy categories, too. You can find geocaches anywhere: from off the beaten path in the woods, to a retaining wall at your local Costco - and kids love the activity. Here is the link with more information if you are interested: Geocaching
Often we think of school as neatly compartmentalized in subjects - in reality meaningful learning happens when we break open these restrictions and mix it up.
In this sense I hope you have a colorful summer, and I am looking forward to our bright and colorful journey through the next school year together!
