Mrs. Bright: Grades 1-3 annette.bright@westwind.ab.ca
Thank you for such a great year. I look forward to seeing everyone at the June activities as well as for our first 2025 September PEP/SRP class beginning Sept 9th.
I am often asked which skill building activities are best to work on over the summer to prevent the summer slide. Families can’t go wrong with reading and writing every day. The writing portion may be a letter to a grandparent or friend or leaving positive and healthy messages around the house. For those who have planned some exciting road trips, here are a few ideas.
License Plate Math - use license plate numbers for addition, subtraction or multiplication problems.
Counting Games - Keep a running count of specific objects like cars, cows, or telephone poles
Trip Budgeting - have kids help plan a budget and track spending on food, gas, and snacks.
Predicting Travel Times - Challenge kids to estimate the arrival time based on distance and speed
Gas Mileage Calculation - after filling up, calculate gas mileage and estimated travel time until the next gas station.
Read Aloud - engage kids with a captivating story, even with an audiobook, perfect for longer trips.
Road Trip Story Telling - each person adds a sentence to a story, building a collaborative tale based on the scenery or surroundings.
Travel Journals - encourage kids to draw or write about their observations, capture their feeling about the trip or describe interesting sights.
