Summer Packets

Some schools are out already and some of us are still counting down the days. Whilst summer should be all about fun and relaxation, we don’t want the kids to forget about the important skills they learned throughout the year. NO MORE SUMMER SLIDE! We all worked too hard for that.

 

Here is the 1st grade summer packet that I use every year. This packet is packed with literacy and math activities that target most of the Common Core Standards. Each page includes both ELA and math exercises. It’s not overwhelming and straightforward, so the kids can do a page a day independently.
