Summer Fun!

Happy Summer, SBLC families! We hope you've enjoyed these first few weeks of vacation.


Before we ended our school year, the super SBLC students came up with some ideas for Summer Choice Activities. Of course, it's summer, so these are optional...but if you'd like to choose a few (or more) to complete, go for it! You could even start a summer journal to keep everything together. We'd love to see yours when we meet again in August. :)

Here are YOUR awesome ideas:

*Make a chart to record how you're active and eating healthy every day.
*Take or find pictures of different insect life cycles and name the stages and body parts.
*Make a diagram of your favorite video game, including a picture/drawing and the rules of how to play it.
*Write an exaggerated version of your vacation, then write the real version!
*Create a Venn diagram to compare/contrast two or more activities you did this summer (rides at Schlitterbahn, for example). 
*Try something new--a new stroke in swimming, a new flavor of ice cream, a new camp--and write about the experience.
*Measure the pool temperature over time and do something fun with your data (graph it, find the difference, compare it to the outdoor temperature...).
*Choose an animal to research and make a presentation about it.
*Record the amount of time you do an activity (how many minutes you swim, for example) and make a graph with the data.
*Learn about different states and their capitals, especially if you travel there!
*Write a narrative about an activity you did.
*Find facts about our solar system or part of it that interests you: the planets, stars, comets, or the future of space exploration.
*Record all of the physical activities you complete in one week.

Looking for more summer fun? You could create a Random Acts of Kindness list, or go here to print the one below. 

Staying busy AND helping others?!? Sounds like the SBLC to us! Whatever your summer plans include, be safe...have fun...go play! :)

Love,
Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Forrest & Ms. Reiman
