Summer Activities for Incoming Second Graders

Hello! I am looking forward to having your child in second grade next year! The most important things you can do with your child to prepare them for second grade is read to them/with them at least 20 minutes a day, and to have conversations with them. Additionally, there are two required summer activities.

• The attached bingo sheet (next slide) is a reading BINGO card with activities to engage your child and keep them reading through the summer. Please check off completed activities and return the sheet on the first day of school. If you like, you can put multiple checks on the same activity. There are prizes listed on the sheet as well :)
• The second activity is a link to Khan academy, with review in first grade math. A lot of second grade math is all about mastering first grade math concepts, so reviewing first grade skills this summer will really set your child up for success in math this year! If your child finishes the first grade review, they may certainly go on to explore the other units which are second grade standards, but that is completely optional.
• Click this link to get started: https://www.khanacademy.org/join/A5G979V8. I will be able to see which activities each child has completed. When you first click the link, you can log in with a username of your choice. But please use your child’s initials at the beginning of the username, so I can tell who’s who.

I would suggest completing 2 or 3 bingo activities and 2 Khan academy skills each week to prevent “summer slide” and to have your child ready and eager to learn when the school year starts!

Have a wonderful and blessed summer break!
