Links for Students
Dear Families,
Breaks are great times to let everything you’ve learned during the school year “soak in” and be used in fun ways. Travel (map skills/visit historical places/science), teach them to cook (math, science, & reading), ride bikes, sledding, snowshoeing (PE), turn the TV/computer/smartphones off and talk, read, play games together (like Monopoly…reinforces math and reading skills) even visit a nursing home or senior center and read to the elderly. Please find below other supplemental resources that you and your student may want to explore. Some of these sites are free and others may charge a small fee after an introductory period. There are also places to find activities, camps, etc… Sincerely, Mrs. Dockery Mrs. Williams Mrs. Lyons
