Summer Enrichment for Rising 1st-5th Graders



Summer Enrichment for Rising 1st-5th GradersMany studies have concluded that students experience significant learning loss when they do not participate in educational activities during the summer months. Our teachers have selected the?Summer Express?workbooks to bridge the learning gap over the summer. The books are designed to be completed throughout the summer, not to be rushed through the week before school begins. We feel these books will provide a more comprehensive review of the previous year's material and will allow students to maintain their current academic level throughout the summer. Having the students work over the summer, allows the teachers to spend less time at the beginning of the year on review and allows them to jusmp into new material more quickly.In addition to the workbook, students will be required to keep a reading log which they will turn in when school begins. Some teachers will also require a specific book or project. See each individual grade requirements listed under the?Resources?to the left.Third Grade Reading Requirements Rising 3rd grade readers will be required to keep a reading log over the summer. Similar to the workbook, the book log is designed to be completed throughout the summer, not to be rushed through for a completion grade. Reading at least 30 minutes, 3 nights a week is required for a full completion grade of the reading log. It is strongly suggested that students read at or slightly above their current reading level to prevent regression. AR books are not required so students may enjoy all the wonderful books not built into the system. Parents should have a copy of the list of suggested books and authors for readers ages 8-10 handed out during end of the year conferences. If you need another copy, you may contact the front office. The reading log is taking the place of reading projects (as required in previous years). ................
