Summer Learning Plan (SLP)- Gateway to Success!
Steering Clear of the Dreaded Summer “Brain Drain”
Hot, Humid, sunny days… boating on the lake, splashing in the pool…
All images of a fun filled summer break… until as parents, we hear, “I’m bored!”
Every summer, it is estimated that students lose on average, 2-3 months of learning from the previous school year. This is commonly known as the Summer Slide or dreaded “Brain Drain”. Teachers say it can take up to 4 weeks to review the lost material and play “catch up” when school resumes.
So how can we help our children to retain more of what they have learned? Here are several ideas to help your child get a head start on the upcoming year…
2. Encourage summer reading and learning. Visiting the library and letting them choose their own books, or visiting a museum can spark new and exciting interests and topics of conversation.
3. Limit Video gaming and TV time. Yes, it’s summer vacation, but it’s important to not allow a free for all when it comes to gaming time. Set limits for children on screen time and encourage other forms of entertainment and discovery.
4. Summer camps and classes. Here at IQuest and 4Points Academy, we offer Summer Camps and Core Curriculum classes to further kids’ education throughout the summer months, keep them occupied and have fun at the same time. Ranging from Art, Science, Music, Cooking, Robotics and much more, classes are offered throughout the summer months at various times of the day. Information can be found by clicking the link below or by calling the school at 512-566-7678.
Whatever way you choose to keep the Brain Drain at bay, engaging your children in activities that encourage creativity, problem solving and fun in learning, will help them retain more of what they learned all year… while still doing cannonballs into the pool! Weeeeeeeee…..SPLASH!!
New IQuest Coordinator- Kathleen Rodriguez
Hailing originally from San Pedro, California, Kathleen moved to Texas in 1999 and has never looked back. Settling in the Lake Travis area in 2003, she now lives here with her family spread throughout Texas with kids at UT Dallas and UT San Antonio.
Kathleen loves to cook and bake and spend time with her family and friends. She is very involved with her church and recently visited Nepal with Watts of Love, giving out solar lights to leper colonies and people misplaced by the 2015 earthquake. She hopes to travel on more missionary trips in the future.
Kathleen is looking forward to meeting all of the parents and students as they come in throughout the summer and into the new school year. Please help us by welcoming her and saying hello when you come by.
