Drawing your Summer Vacation

This is a twist to the “What I did on my Summer Vacation” lesson for the first day of school. It is a great icebreaker in any class.

Authentic Persuasive Writing to Promote Summer Reading

Rather than required readings, Pipkin suggests that we invite students to create their own summer reading opportunities, which they then share and promote within the classroom or school making summer reading projects into student-centered explorations.

Explore Summers Past and Present

Whether it is a special song, a favorite movie, or a family vacation, everyone has special summer memories that are fun to share. In this activity, children think about their own memories and answer questions before asking the same questions of someone older. After comparing summer stories, work together to make a poster that shows what is the same and what is different.

Celebrate the first day of summer with summer reading.

Summer reading is an important component of an overall reading program. Research shows that summer vacation often has a significant negative effect on student learning. Providing opportunities for students to read regularly during the summer can prevent documented reading achievement losses. The bottom line is that students who read during the summer do better in the fall.

All About a Tree in Summer

In this series we are teaching students to learn about seasons through observation of a tree outside the classroom. Students will learn about the adopted tree in the summer season.
