Summer Brain Drain

Wondering how to stop the summer brain drain from happening to your children or your students. Teachers, do you send home summer packets hoping the information they worked so hard on through the school year will stick? I know I do and when I send these packets I know full well my students won’t touch them over the summer. I even go as far as to bribe them with some kind of goodie I think will motivate them to do SOMETHING over the summer. Well blogger Jennifer Peck has come up with some creative, educational and reasonably priced ideas in her blog, “Summer Matters. How Parents Can Keep Their Children Learning All Summer Long.”
