We have successfully made it to the end of the school year! Looking through our end of year data, I am pleased to see so much growth. We had two students that increased their reading rates by over 80 words per minutes, and another six that increased more than 50 words per minute. The average word per minute gain was 29 words per minute, and almost ninety percent of DLI students reached the reading comprehension benchmark for the end of second grade!
- the Logan Library has a summer reading program - students can earn prizes while maintaining valuable reading skills. Program begins June 1st.
- write letters - there is nothing better than receiving a hand-written letter in the mail! Here is a link to some fun printable stationary.
- Reflex Math - all Bridger students have access to their Reflex Math accounts over the summer (username: DLI, password: student's lunch number). If they master addition and subtraction, I can change their access to multiplication and division. Forgot how to log on? Click here!
- Bridger's Lending Library will be open 11-12 every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from June 2nd - August 6th (it's in the gym). Bring a book - get a book!
- Play games - there are tons of dice and card games that help children practice math skills. Click here to find some!
- Games like Apples to Apples, Bananagrams, Scattergories, and Tapple build vocabulary and spelling skills and require children to read while they play. Educational games and activities can be borrowed (for free) from the Logan Family Center.
- Cook together! Cooking requires a myriad of math skills, and you get to eat the results!
- Go on a field trip! Here are some places in Logan (or nearby) that will keep your student's mind active this summer:
It doesn't take much to help maintain the important skills your child has learned this year, and it can be part of your summer fun. Please make your child's continued education a priority this summer.
