I am SO close to summer! This is my last week at school with students. It’s always a little bittersweet for me. On one hand, it’s hard to say goodbye to students. On the other hand, summertime means no stress and fun with my boys. This wins out for sure! As excited as I am to start making summer plans, I need to give all my attention to school for one more week. On the last day of school, I’ll be giving my students a little summer packet that (I’m hoping) they will work on to keep their skills sharp. I’ll also be giving them these bookmarks. I made a few options and a black-and-white option.
A couple of years ago I blogged about this:
I made this little “summer suggestions” sheet that I sent home on the last day of school. I had my students fill out one and I filled out one. I chose one or two things that I felt that the student needs to focus on this summer (handwriting, long vowels, fluency, etc.) You can download this freebie here.
Now onto the summer packets!
This is for kindergarten students going into first grade:
This summer pack is split into ten weeks with six weekly activities.
Here’s a closer look at week 1:
This simple game can be played over and over. You can download it for free in the Preview of my kindergarten pack!
This summer pack is for 1st graders going into 2nd grade:
This is set up similarly, but it covers more skills. I went through and mapped out activities for each week. There are activities for ten weeks. Each week has a skill focus with word work, spelling, sentence reading, decodable passages, and writing prompts.
