REMINDER: Summer Resources for Lower School Families: Build Reading and Math Habits Through Everyday Experiences

As summer approaches, Lower School would like to share two family resources designed to help students continue growing in ways that feel meaningful, joyful, and manageable throughout the break.

Summer learning does not need to look like extra assignments, long worksheets, or structured lessons. Some of the most powerful opportunities happen through everyday moments: reading together before bed, noticing patterns while cooking, asking thoughtful questions during errands, playing games, telling stories, and making time for curiosity.

This week’s featured articles offer practical ideas and simple ways families can support both literacy and mathematical thinking over the summer while leaving plenty of room for rest, exploration, and family time.

Keeping Reading Joyful this Summer

Everyday Opportunities for Mathematical Thinking

We hope these ideas support a summer filled with discovery, conversation, and joyful learning together. Enjoy the break and all the meaningful moments that come with it.

If you have any questions, please contact your child's homeroom teacher.
