SUMMER MATH AND READING PACKETS
Each year, Beaumont provides extra practice opportunities for our students to complete over the summer as a voluntary activity. Many students complete all or parts of the packets to keep their skills fresh over the summer. These reading and math packets for Kindergarten through 3rd grade are on the Schoology group 'Elementary Enrichment and Practice Materials' and will be available on June 1. Our current 4th grade students will be added to the Middle School Summer Assignments Schoology Group also available June 1.

In addition to these packets, we encourage the students to continue independent reading, summer journaling, visiting community library programs, writing letters to family and friends, and finding many chances for outdoor play and exploration. Also, authentic tasks like counting coins, adding the prices of items at the grocery store, measuring the rooms in the house or places in the yard, playing board games, hunting for geometric items around the house, and telling time (and elapsed time) throughout the day help to keep math skills sharp too!

Have a wonderful summer, Beaumont!
