Research shows that students tend to score lower on reading and math achievement tests at the end of summer than they did just before summer break. This phenomenon is sometimes called the summer slide.
To promote your child’s mind, body, and spirit, St. John teachers are offering an opportunity to continue making growth over the summer towards our school-wide learning expectations.
We are offering the option to complete bingo boards in reading, math, and wellness as a fun way to incentivize summer learning! Complete one row of each bingo board over the summer to win a prize when school resumes in the fall! Choose the bingo packet that corresponds with the student’s grade level THIS year: Primary Bingo, Intermediate Bingo, Middle School Bingo. Preschool students are encouraged to play as well and should use the Primary Bingo packet. Mrs. Longton has also provided summer books lists in the packets to help you with your endeavors.
