Summer break will be here before we know it - ending yet another unforgettable year.
Today I am excited to finally share the final break activity packet as a part of my year-round bundle! Each break from school I always try to send something home with my students as a means to keep kids thinking and engaged with the concepts we've learned in class. Parents also really appreciate this packet because it allows them to see what their child is learning and have something to take on family vacations.
The "summer slump" can definitely impact a child and often us teachers see a little bit of a decline once school starts up again. I definitely think kids should be kids and enjoy their time away from school, but as the new year begins to come around I couldn't encourage parents to kickstart the year with some academic practice and review.
This Summer Break packet includes a variety of kindergarten ELA skill review as well as some first grade prep. My goal is to have my students review the main ELA skills we've spent a lot of time on throughout the year. These skills include:
- alphabet recognition (reading/writing)
- name writing practice (using 1 uppercase and the rest lowercase)
- phonetic spelling
- syllables
- rhyming words
- beginning sounds
- story sequencing/retelling
- creative writing
- sight word spelling (look, say, cover, write, check)
- writing planning sheet and first draft paper
- sentence structure review
- SEL activities
