Summer Learning Loss

Working as a kindergarten teacher and a camp counselor gets me thinking about summer learning and the proven summer learning loss. Of course, no parent wants their child to digress over summer, but most parents think you're starting a marketing spiel when you bring this up.

This year my school opted out of spring conferences to have a summed up end of the year conference. It worked out nicely in that I could then talk about summer learning loss in a sneaky way.

This year I gave each family the following handout. If it will do you any good, or if you'd like to try these things at home, go ahead and grab it!
