Dear Distinctive Schools Families,

Happy Summer!

Summer is a wonderful time for students to reflect on the things that they’ve learned throughout the year, try to apply their learning in the world around them, and explore their curiosities!  Our Anytime, Anywhere Learning efforts this year are all about students having a voice in what they learn over the summer. 

We want students to have an invigorating summer, and keeping their brains working is important.  See the attached flyer for some great ideas for their learning.

We recommend that students read at least 20 minutes per day every day, even in the summer.  Talking with students about what they read and sharing opinions is a great way to support them with little effort.  We also recommend sharing how you use math in your everyday life. Helping students understand how they might use their skills and to communicate with others about their learning is an excellent way to make their learning “stick.”

Explore! Whether it’s a local park, one of the many Chicago or Detroit attractions, or international travel, encourage students to think about how what they’ve learned connects to what they see in the world.  Look at these free museum days:

Detroit-https://www.greatstartwayne.org/freemuseumdays

Finally, encourage students to share their summer learning experiences with others in face to face interactions or social media.  Tag or follow other students’ work on facebook, instagram, or twitter using #DSSummerLearning.

Estimadas familias de Distinctive Schools,

¡Feliz verano!
¡El verano es un momento maravilloso para que los estudiantes reflexionen sobre las cosas que han aprendido durante el año!  En las vacaciones traten de aplicar su aprendizaje en el mundo que les rodea y exploren sus curiosidades. Nuestros esfuerzos de Aprendizaje en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar (Anytime, Anywhere Summer Learning) este año son diseñados con la meta de que los alumnos puedan elegir lo que vayan a aprender durante el verano.

Queremos que los estudiantes tengan un verano revitalizante.  Es importante de mantener siempre en marcha al cerebro. Vea el folleto adjunto para informarse sobre algunas ideas para su aprendizaje.

Recomendamos que los estudiantes lean por lo menos 20 minutos al día todos los días, incluso en el verano. Hablar con los estudiantes sobre lo que leen y compartir opiniones es una gran manera de apoyarlos - y es fácil de implementar. También se recomienda conversar sobre  la forma en que se utiliza las matemáticas en sus vidas diarias. Ayudar a los estudiantes a entender cómo pueden usar sus habilidades de comunicarse con otros acerca de su aprendizaje es una excelente manera de retener su conocimiento

¡Explorar! Si se trata de un parque local, una de las muchas atracciones de Chicago o Detroit, o viajes internacionales, animar a los estudiantes a pensar en cómo lo que han aprendido se conecta a lo que ven en el mundo. ¡Véase estos días de entrada gratis a los museos de Chicago y Detroit!

Detroit-https://www.greatstartwayne.org/freemuseumdays

Finalmente, animen a los estudiantes a compartir sus experiencias de aprendizaje de verano con otros en interacciones cara a cara o en las redes sociales. También se puede hacer un Tag o un Follow al trabajo de otros estudiantes en Facebook, Instagram o Twitter usando #DSSummerLearning.
