KMS Summer Learning Activity Kit
Keep your brain learning over Summer break!
Combating Summer Slide
Summer break is traditionally a time when students experience a "slide" in their acquired learning. This summer is especially sensitive as it follows 15 months of disrupted learning experiences due to the pandemic. To partner with families, staff at LSPS has created an engaging bag of learning activities, focused on music, movement, STEAM and literacy, to support families. Below you will find links to ideas of how to use the material in your summer learning kit.
