Your collaboration with your child’s teacher is among the biggest factors in their success. As we look ahead to the summer break, we want to continue our partnership and ensure all students will find time to enjoy some pleasurable reading, writing, and math activities during the break.  \nResearch has shown that over the summer months students may regress in their academic skills by one month or more. Each year, considerable instructional time is spent reviewing skills and knowledge lost over the summer months. While research into the summer learning effect is on-going, there is little doubt as to the importance of reading and practicing Math and Literacy skills over the summer holiday. For this reason, we have created calendars with fun Math and Literacy activities for your child to complete over the summer months.  \nMATH: Just a few minutes each day spent thinking and talking math and practicing skills will help reinforce the learning that has happened over the past year and will build the foundation for the skills and concepts that will be developed next year. This summer math practice consists of 2 calendar pages, one for July and one for August. Literature and websites are also recommended to explore mathematics in new ways. The goal is for your child to have fun thinking and working collaboratively to communicate mathematical ideas. While your child is working, discuss the math concept being targeted using the prompts on the next page. Your child should aim to complete at least 15 math days each month, spacing the practice work out over the summer, opting to do a little bit each week rather than all of it at once at the beginning of summer or right before returning to school in August.  \nOPTIONAL MATH PRACTICE: This summer, your child can also do daily math practice based on their most recent MAP test results. Visit Khan Academy Math Mappers. Follow these instructions using the spring MAP results to set up customized practice based on your child’s own individual MAP Mathematics scores. Students can work at their own pace, keep their math skills up to date over the summer.  \nREADING: Your child will be asked to read at least 4 books of their choice this summer, and to select one to complete the attached “One-Pager” assignment. To view book recommendations and answers to frequently asked questions, please visit the Middle School Summer Assignment Padlet, where you can also find the assignment. The books your child selects must be appropriate for their age and reading style. While your child is required to complete the written assignment on one book this summer, we highly encourage reading at least three additional books, whether fiction or non-fiction, in English or any other language.  \nYour child should highlight which math problems they completed on the attached math calendar pages and be prepared to turn in a notebook showing their calendar math work as well as the attached reading report to their Math and English teachers upon return to classes on August 31, 2026. Summer work will be incorporated into Quarter 1 report cards.  \nBest wishes for a great summer!  \nTips for Helping Your Child with Math  \n• Expect your child to work hard and be good at math.  \n• Ask “How did you get that?” “Can you show me another way to do that?” “Remember how you did   , see if you can use that same strategy.”  \n• Encourage your child to stick with a task even if it seems challenging.  \n• Highlight the math in everyday activities, such as cooking, shopping, and playing sports.  \n• Play math games like Yahtzee and Monopoly. Playing with blocks and completing jigsaw puzzles are great ways to help reinforce spatial skills and look for patterns.  \n• If you see signs of frustration, suggest leaving the problem for a day or two and returning to it with fresh perspective at another point.  \n• List","cbCaisTyAjt7U3Fb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisTyAjt7U3Fb","pdf",398084,"English","# Getting Ready for Grade 8\n## Math Practice Plan\n## Optional Math Practice\n## Reading Requirements\n## Math Support Tips and Conversation Prompts\n## Reading Support Tips","[{\"question\":\"What math activities are required during the summer break?\",\"answer\":\"Complete work on the summer math calendar pages for July and August and aim for at least 15 math days each month.
