SECOND Grade Summer Learning Hello summer! In the Fall you will begin second grade! Keep your learning alive this summer by using this calendar for daily activities focusing on math, reading, writing, and science. Each day will provide you with a new learning activity. Do these together as a family, and use these activities as discussion starters. Research shows students who work on reading and math during the summer months show less regression at the beginning of the year. Have a great summer!
