Hello Fabulous FAMILIES!
Are you looking for a fun way to engage your children in learning this summer? Look no further - we have created a k-5 summer calendar for you! We worked with the math, literacy, and science specialists in Granite District to create the best summer learning suggestions for you!
How does it work?
You will find links to each grade level calendar, click on your child's below. You will find a calendar full of links to daily learning activities in reading & math, and weekly science activities. We have also included weekly field trips for a fun adventure! Click on the activities each day and enjoy engaging learning!
You can do as many activities or as little as you’d like. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our team in the FACE department: Alaina Wilcock - awilcock@graniteschools.org and Jodi Lusty - jklusty@graniteschools.org.
