Mastery of all these skills is extremely important in order to develop a solid foundation. The Rhodes School is dedicated to assisting in this developmental process. We believe time spent learning and reinforcing these concepts will be very beneficial for your child. As you prepare for your summer schedule, please take a few minutes to schedule time for reading and math activities. Research is clear, students can experience “summer loss” that can be equivalent to three months of learning if they don’t practice learned skills throughout the summer. Please see below for the specific instructions on how your child should complete their Summer Packet and what components they will be responsible to return on the first week of school. MathChoose 3 activities each week to complete. Provide a quiet, organized work space to help your student stay focused.It’s ok if you or other adults provide assistance.We expect your student to create something to reflect an activity from their Summer Math Packets to turn in to their math teacher the first week of school.Reading * In this packet, we are providing a story or novel to “jump start” your child’s summer reading activities.Read 60 minutes a week (Pre-K4 through 2nd grade); 120 minutes a week (3rd – 6th grade)Select four books from the suggested reading list.
