Avoiding the summer slide

6/1/2018

 
PictureThis is one of my absolute favorite childhood memories when I think about summertime!!
With the end of the school year brings summertime fun. From what I was told by at least one child in every grade level before the last day of school, is that they are looking forward to those days where they can stay up a little longer than they can on school nights. Many also told me that they are looking forward to enjoying a little "fun in the sun", going on vacation with family, or simply getting a break from the daily school routine. While those things are certainly rewarding after a long school year, it is important that students do not fall into what is known as the "Summer Slide".
According to a newsletter from the Harvard Graduate School of Education(2) on average, students lose 2.6 months of learning in math during summer break. They also note that math learning loss is bigger than reading and cuts across all socioecnomic backgrounds. They suggest that while reading activities are often part of a family's daily life, parents and kids don't usually think about math outside the classroom (try imagining a bedtime math routine rather than a reading routine).
I am hopeful that the interactive pages in the Intentional Toolkit will give children an opportunity to brush up on math concepts that were taught during the school year. Here's to a great summer...Now go out there and be GREAT!
