Reading and Writing Their Way Through Summer

Stacey Shubitz

Last week I blogged about summer writing loss. This is because I’m starting to get anxious about the school year ending since I feel like there isn’t enough time for me to do everything I want to do with my kiddos before I send them off to fifth grade.

Jen Barney contacted me with some lovely ideas, which can be read in the comments section, which is at the bottom of my 4/18 post, for things to send students-off with in June. Jen’s ideas, coupled with ReadWriteThink‘s Summer Activities for Kids made me feel better about sending my students off in less than two months from now since I have some concrete ideas about the “package” I’ll send them away with in June.

Have more ideas for keeping kids in books and notebooks this summer? Leave a comment here.
