Dear families,
As our children take a much earned break from the hustle and bustle of the academic year, providing our children with the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate over the summer is so important. We encourage our families to use this opportunity to develop the life-long skills that will enable them to successfully navigate their futures. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Continue to develop a relationship with God. There is no relationship of greater importance, therefore allowing our children to partake in weekly Mass is so essential in their development and understanding of God's love.
2. Do household chores daily: This will help your child understand how to be a part of a team and that all members have to help for the greater good. They will also learn to become more appreciative and develop greater self- efficacy. Select age-appropriate chores which can include, but is not limited to, cleaning up one's room, doing laundry, doing the dishes, sweeping, dusting and polishing, feeding and cleaning the pet, etc.
3. Read, read, and read some more. Reading books from a variety of authors and types of books (such as novels and informational text/technical books) will help to expose your children to the depth and breadth of the English language and build their background knowledge.
4. Get at least 1 hour of daily physical activity.
5. Limit screen time and allow your children the opportunity to play outside.
6. Use the summer to develop and strengthen skills. Please see the required work for each grade below.
