Title 1 Summer Resources 2024
Happy Summer!
We have had a wonderful school year at Goessel Elementary! Click the blue words below for some fun summer resources for kids and ideas for parents. I hope you can take a few minutes to read through the handouts, print and hang a few on the fridge to reference, and talk with your child about what simple reading and learning activities they’d like to try this summer.
- Summer Learning Spotlight on Math & Reading
- An End of School Year Interview page you can use to document your child’s growth!
- Camp BOOK IT! Signup instructions- turn reading into Personal Pan Pizzas at Pizza Hut!
- BOOK IT! Reading Logs: Sign up for the BOOK IT! Program, keep track of your reading each month (log it online to earn pizza).
- The final Title 1 Newsletter for the year, with evidence-based articles written just for parents, with articles about celebrating your child’s achievements, activities to keep learning all summer, ideas to help your child give back during summer break, and tips for maintaining a consistent schedule over the summer months.
- Activity Calendars for May and June-August
- Deep Dive Connection Challenge: 48 Ways to Fill Your Parent-Child Connection Tank (by sneaking connection time into things you are already doing!)
- Do you hear, “I’m bored!” from your child? Create an “I’m Bored Jar” with this printable, and whenever they’re feeling bored, challenge your child to pick a piece of paper from the jar, read it, and choose an imagination adventure!
These are optional activities, but highly encouraged! Pick just a few of these activities that fit your family and interest your child. Even short amounts of time spent together reading or doing educational activities can make a big difference and get your child off to a great start for next school year!
Looking for yet another way to enjoy books together this summer? Watch and listen to books being read aloud by authors, celebrities, and regular ‘ol book lovers like you by going to YouTube and searching for the following channels or clicking these links: Brightly Storytime, MsBeckyAndBear'sStoryTime, KidTimeStoryTime, and StorylineOnline.
I hope you have a healthy, happy summer together as a family, and that it is filled with sunshine, laughter, playing outside, and lots and lots of reading! J
Sincerely,
Mrs. Miller
