Summer Leaping instead of Summer Sliding! Learned so much tonight from the #SummerLearningChat

[Scholastic @Scholastic]

Thanks so much for joining our #SummerLearningChat! We hope you’re inspired to turn the “summer slide” into the “summer leap” and keep kids learning all summer long.

Share this graphic if you’re committed to summer learning!

@ThoughtfulRead @titanchicklisa Ahhhh! I love this idea and will "borrow" it- sending one with readers before winter break and then again before summer. Thanks for sharing! #SummerLeaningChat

@Scholastic @pamallyn @ShaunteeBS @frankisibberson A5: Parents are our partners. Making book talk a regular topic of parent communication throughout the year plants the seeds of reading culture. Also, I save free books and 1$ books from @Scholastic to send home with readers for summer. #SummerLearningChat

@Scholastic @pamallyn @ShaunteeBS @frankisibberson A4: Teachers and librarians can help children access books by holding a "library card book drive". Book access is key! #SummerLearningChat

@frankisibberson @CommonSense What a great resource! Thanks for sharing!

@Scholastic @pamallyn @ShaunteeBS @frankisibberson A3: Children love the about books with each other. Talking to children and parents about how to create summer reading communities- online or in person- could be a big motivator! #SummerLearningChat

@Scholastic @pamallyn @ShaunteeBS @frankisibberson Children may not know how to be specific about their reading needs. Building a strong reading identity during the school year can help children advocate for specific titles, authors, and genres so their adults can request choice books from the library. #SummerLearningChat

@Scholastic Hi, I am Stacey Ross. I am from Austin, Texas, and this year will be my 27th! My favorite reading memory from childhood is visiting my grandmother. She collected Nancy Drew books for me to read all summer. My favorite was the Clock Tower book! #SummerLearningChat

Yes, Morgan. They are! ♥️

@kamphausjessica I love that quote, too! It is so true. Play leads to risk taking and creativity.

This week we started African American biographies, so I provided 3 online reading resources and 12 different paper/book biographies.

A5: Confession: I left my book at school. Oops! So, not sure about page 57, but one goal I have for this semester is choice in how students receive information. I have always had a lot of choices for product, but I want to add choices on the front end more. #LPTechAmplify

[bookglitter @book_glitter]

@labrowder Not at all, but it has to be purposeful. Play on technology can be just a time-filler it is not part of a thoughtful plan. I want to find some ways to release some of the control and structure without slipping down the slope in to playing around on apps with little direction.

A1 As I have been reading the book, one of the questions I have asked myself is how can I marry technology and play while also continuing to keep things purposeful and collaborative for my students? #LPTechAmplify

[bookglitter @book_glitter]

A4: Play is essential when it comes to student choice. 2nd graders are going to be motivated and engaged by learning through play. They will always choose play! #LPTechAmplify

[bookglitter @book_glitter]

A3: I am hoping to grow my own knowledge and make it visible to the kids. Last semester I was learning BLEND alongside my students and I was transparent about how I was learning in the moment. I am hoping to find something else to learn alongside them again. #LPTechAmplify

Q2: I am ready to get a recording booth rolling my classroom. I have had it on my to-do list for a while, but reading the book and how Ziemke created it in her room has inspired me to take action. #LPTechAmplify
