Summer Learning: Unplugged  

Sidewalk Chalk Talk: Grab some sidewalk chalk and enjoy the following activities!

Mr. Ferris had his wheel, but what would you create for the World’s Fair? Will it be something that towers over the area, amazes audiences with cool tricks, or a beautiful display of color and artistry?

Think about your creation, then grab your chalk and showcase your design for all your neighbors to see!

Head outside and draw this Open Middle Problem , taking turns to solve. The winner is the one who comes up with the most solutions!

Scavenger Hunts: Do you have what it takes to track down your reading and math target?

Let’s hunt for singular and plural nouns! What location is the best place to hunt with the most options? Each person should find their room and start hunting. How many things can you find that are singular (clock, flower) or plural (plates, bushes)? List the items you find and be sure to use the correct plural form.

Team Singular or Team Plural? Who will win??

Select a number 11 - 20. Now make a list of all the multiples of that number by multiplying it 1 - 20. For example, if I chose 13 my list would begin: 13, 26, 39...247, 260.

Now apply your scavenger skills! Use books, clocks, addresses...anything you can safely investigate to find all 20 of your multiples from the list above! Try again with a new number.

Science:  

For science summer enrichment, we are using an online educational game from Legends of Learning called Awakening to assist students in their understanding of science concepts. Legends of Learning is a research-based educational gaming company whose games are proven to have a positive impact on student performance.

Here is a short video that shows an older student playing. Video Students will need to use their school email to log in.
