Kindergarten
Reading
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math):
Engage your child this summer with STEM ( science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Challenge them to draw a design which they then build using supplies which you designate (like masking tape + straws or notecards, wooden block, Legos, etc. ) A bridge is a more advanced challenge for older children. Incorporate Math by giving them a height or width goal or having them measure the final construction. THEN have them IMPROVE their design using their new engineering skills.
3. Read daily and discuss: characters, problem, setting, solution, author’s purpose
4. Go on a vocabulary word hunt. Keep a running tally of how many words you find (magazines, books, billboards, etc.)
5. Read and retell a book to two family members

Science:
1. Go into your back yard and make a list of living and non-living things.
2. Make a list of how you used your 5 senses today.
3. While taking a bath or using your sink, find things that sink and float.
4. Plant a garden or flower this summer. What does your plant need to survive?
5. Predict and track the weather for a week.
6. Find things around your house to reuse for another purpose.
Social Studies:
1. Make a map of your bedroom. Label the map.
2. Identify community helpers and write about their job.
