Fight the Summer Slide Challenge 2018
Students Entering Grades 5th - 7th
We are excited to announce the 2nd annual “Fight the Summer Slide” challenge that will run for ten weeks from Monday, June 25th through Monday, September 3rd. Students will again bring their district-issued iPads home this summer, and have the opportunity to read various digital books, practice their math skills and engage in programming and coding games and challenges. Although it is vital that students spend the summer enjoying time with family and friends, playing outdoors and participating in camps and other activities, we also hope they will not forget all they learned this school year!
All current 4th, 5th and 6th grade students will have the opportunity to use the reading program LightSail, the math program Mathspace and the coding platform kidOYO to enhance their reading, math skills and coding skills during the summer. These programs were utilized by students during the school year, and now students will have the opportunity to use them at home during the summer months.
If students are reading outside of the LightSail program, click on the link below for a reading log to be used to record summer reading. Hand this log proudly into your classroom teacher in September to show all of your summer reading progress. Remember - This is only for reading done outside of the LightSail program.
Students currently in 6th grade moving into 7th grade for the 2018-2019 school year are expected to complete a graphic organizer on at least one of the books that they read this summer. See the link below.
