The summer unit includes 60 activities which focus on these skills: brainstorming, creative writing, word study, handwriting, art, language and research. This unit can be used in September as the children return from their summer vacation, with lots of experience to talk about and write about. The unit can also be used in May-June as an introduction to summer adventures. The unit includes several different suggestions for Bulletin Boards. You could also set up an Interest Centre that could include items such as; travel folders, maps, books, pictures, postcards, photographs, poems, word cards, placemats from restaurants, shells, rocks, souvenirs, etc. Share the fun and adventures of summer experiences with your class.
