We still have 4 days left. FOUR DAYS! I sure wish we didn’t have to take it all the way to a Friday.. but we will survive!
Some of you lucky ducks are already out!
For those of you who aren’t yet, just enjoy the blog hop
I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to bring you a Summer Blog Hop! Ms. Britney from Tailor-Made Teaching has been a brilliant hostess!
…now on the goods…
Do you give your students summer homework? I usually give a small review packet like this one by the wonderfully talented Amy Lemons from Step into Second Grade. But for the most part, I just hope the parents take my suggestions on which workbooks to use and which skills to review.
This year, I did some research {aka asked all my instagram buddies} and I complied a list of apps & websites my students could use over the summer to avoid that “summer slide”. It even includes a couple of facts about how much ground students lose in reading and math over the course of summer break {when I told my kids they lose about 3 months of math skills if they don’t practice over the summer, they were all up in arms saying “oh I’ll be practicing…” hehe I just hope it’s true}.
It’s yours to use if you’d like.

Now go visit my friend Kristen! I know she’s got something great for you
I agree with Sarah! This would have been awesome to add to my summer pack! I will be sure to share it with parents at the beginning of the year. Thank you so much! I'm one of the lucky ones who is out- but I spent it moving into my new classroom Marissa

Okay..now I wish that I was still in school so I could have put this in my summer packet for the kiddos! Thanks for the resource! It is a must share!
4 more days! You've got this!
