Swimming pool, sports, playground, sandbox, bike ride, walk, anything that sounds fun to you.  Getting outside is always fun! 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR UPCOMING 3RD-5TH GRADERS. Keyboard and typing skills can help with classwork and fine motor skills. There are lots of different online sites to work with typing.  ABCya has some if you have an account.  OKE also has a typing club login that many already have access to. Let us know if you need the login.

Yes, chores!  Taking responsibility for something that needs to be done is not only helpful to your family, but it also develops you as a person.  It can be something as small as cleaning your room or wiping the kitchen counters.  You could also choose a big job such as cleaning the living room or working in the yard.   

Find a book or book series  you love and read every day.  Going to a library to find new books can be a lot of fun (and free)!  The new library on Texas Heritage close to Fulshear is open and very close by.

Write a little each day.  It can be a story, a journal, a diary, a grocery list, etc.  It can be digital (maybe a blog on Canva).  It can be on paper.  It can be on the sidewalk with chalk.  It is a great way to exercise your brain and keep your skills sharp.  

Don't skimp on spelling and grammar.  Check capitals and periods.  

If you write something you think is great, share it with us!  Email it or share in Google Drive.  Or, save it to show us when school starts up in August.
