CSD Elementary Summer Learning Program
#WEread for FUN! (And love math too!)
To help our youngest students build a love of reading, Colonial is excited to offer an engaging and enriching learning opportunity for students entering 1st to 5th grade during the 2020-21 school year.   Participating students will receive picture book(s) or a novel, an activity choice board, and creative materials that will be used during #WEread for FUN.  (July 6th to August 6th). Students will have the option of participating in a daily Zoom session (30-45 minutes) with a Colonial teacher that connects them with other students reading the same book.  The teacher will also provide engaging and fun ELA and Math activities that they can complete throughout the day.   As a parent, you can decide if your child participates in the choice board activities at home, the zoom lessons, or everything being offered to extend their learning this summer!
