Summer Fun and Summer Gains

Summer is certainly a special season, especially for kids. For me, it was long days at the Jersey shore building sandcastles and playing on sand bars for hours, catching fireflies in the backyard during hot summer nights, and plenty of unscheduled time to explore, create, and have fun. We at Wildwood hope all of our students and their families have a fun, memorable summer break.


With summer break just 9 days away (yes, we are all counting), now is a great time to make a plan to ensure that the academic gains your child made this school year are maintained, and that your child is positioned for success when school begins in August. An easy way to do this is to set aside a small block of time each day for your child to practice reading, writing, and math skills. There are many engaging, age-appropriate resources available to help you with this. Summer bridging activity books like the ones linked HERE are popular choices for many families, and CVUSD will be sending a flyer home in your child's report card on the last day of school that highlights some online options. Of course, daily reading is one of the best ways to help your child build literacy skills that are proven to improve performance across all subjects.


Please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions regarding targeted skills for your child to practice during the summer months.


Warmly,


Mr. Lynch
