What to Teach in June? Use Our ‘Summer is Here’ Newsletter

As the school year winds down, keeping students engaged while maintaining consistent communication with parents becomes a challenge for teachers. The final month often brings both excitement and the struggle to wrap up lessons. That’s why we created the ‘Summer is Here’ newsletter template to lighten the load. It includes fun, engaging activities, and helpful resources for both teachers and parents.

Kick Off Summer Mode with Fun and Learning

Summer mode is inevitable, so why not embrace it? Our newsletter template starts with fun summer quotes that art and library teachers can turn into collaborative, illustrated displays around the school. ELA teachers can also incorporate these quotes into their lessons, encouraging students to write or analyze their own favorite summer sayings. This is a great way to wrap up the humanities.

Integrating STEM: Explore the Solstice, Sun, and Sea

When it comes to STEM lessons, June provides plenty of opportunities to dive into summer-related topics. Teaching about the summer solstice can naturally lead to lessons about the sun, moon, and even the ocean. June is also National Oceans Month, offering a wealth of ocean-related resources and activities to enrich your science curriculum. We’ve compiled useful STEM resources to make your lesson planning easier and keep students curious through June.
