Welcome to our K-5 Summer Learning website!
We're excited you're here!
Keeping students' reading and mathematics learning fresh over the summer is important for success in September.
Research shows that students can lose an average of two months of learning over the summer if concepts and skills are not practiced.
Use this website to find ways to keep kids engaged during the summer in math and reading.

You have probably heard people say they are just bad at math, or perhaps you yourself feel like you are not “a math person.” Not so, says Stanford mathematics education professor Jo Boaler, who shares the brain research showing that with the right teaching and messages, we can all be good at math. Not only that, our brains operate differently when we believe in ourselves. Boaler gives hope to the the mathematically fearful or challenged, shows a pathway to success, and brings into question the very basics of how our teachers approach what should be a rewarding experience for all children and adults. Check out this video to learn how you can be "good at math".
Why should we keep reading aloud to kids even when they can already "read on their own?" This talk demonstrates the magic of read aloud and reminds us all why reading aloud is so essential- at school and at home. This talk is for parents and teachers who want to teach comprehension and connect with kids in powerful ways.
