Extending Our Fun: Summer Learning Materials

Help me give my students materials to extend and enrich their summer learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reusche's classroom raised $391

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our children are so curious and love to play! These open ended materials will help to extend their learning and will be a reminder of how much their teachers will miss them over the summer. They can have fun tossing a ball, playing with chalk and reading a book to prepare them for the upcoming school year. Kindergarteners can read the decodable readers throughout the summer in preparation for first grade. Magnifying glassess will help the children explore all of the living things they will find this summer. We can't wait to see everyone again in August!
