Great tips to help keep your kids’ minds active through Summer

Very few will be thinking about the important lessons they learned during the school year or about the new, exciting lessons that will begin in September. How do we help ensure that lessons are not forgotten and that learning continues during the summer even though our children are not in the classroom? How can we continue to advance our children’s learning through these restful summer months?

We would like to know how you are helping your children learn throughout the summer so that others can benefit. Share your creative ideas and success stories. Inspire us all to advance learning throughout the year! Some of our suggestions include:

• Mandatory reading time each day – read to your young children, and encourage your older children to read for themselves.
• Visit museums and other cultural institutions – help bring learning to life and make it fun.
• Review your child’s report card and find areas that need some work. Talk about those topics and how they are relevant to important jobs and every day life.

Now it’s your turn. Let’s help our children learn every day. Have a safe and enjoyable summer.
