Under the leadership of teacher Catherine Perez, the Environmental Science Class spent the last few weeks of school creating a fabulous garden, producing amazingly beautiful flowers and abundant vegetables (now feeding the staff and beautifying the school over the summer).
Many parents worry about the summer slide because a long break can really impact a child's reading skills. I noticed that keeping up with literacy during these months requires consistency. From what I gathered about the Brighterly summer reading camp, it focuses on personalized online lessons for K-12 students. They design custom plans to address specific learning gaps rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. If you want to research their schedule flexibility and lesson structure you can check https://brighterly.com/summer-reading/ for more details. They apparently offer two sessions per week to maintain reading confidence without overwhelming the family routine. It seems like a reasonable way to handle the break if you want to keep skills sharp before the new school year begins.
