RSD17 Summer Learning

Welcome to RSD17's Summer Learning Opportunities

Welcome to RSD17 Summer Learning 

Summer is coming!  In a few short weeks teachers will be saying goodbye to their students and sending them off to the next grade level.  We all want to dive right into the summer fun!   Continuity of learning is important to prevent summer learning loss.  Studies show students lose a portion of the skills and knowledge they gained during the school year if they don’t read and practice math over the summer.  As a district, we have created a summer learning plan for all students grades Pre-K-9 which includes both reading and math.  All materials can be found on the RSD17 Summer Learning Website by clicking on the grade level your child is entering in the fall.  In addition to the summer reading and math materials, you will find alternate learning experiences such as project-based learning and links to Personalized Computer Adaptive Programs the students had access to during the school year. 

On the Reading Learning Pages you will find:

• Summer reading directions

• Summer Reading Adventures- Weekly themed activities and books

• Summer reading log

• Summer Reading Notes pages for grades 4-8

• Book summaries, trailers or reviews for grades 4-8

• Links to book lists

On the Math Learning Pages you will find:

• Summer math letters

• Summer math packets by grade level

• Links to iReady (password required)

• Link to the CT Commissioner’s Summer Math Challenge 

We hope that you find the site user-friendly, and helpful as you navigate these learning opportunities through the summer. Please reach out to Jbeermuender@rsd17.org (reading) or hrigatti@rsd17.org (math) with any questions you may have.  

Enjoy your summer and we look forward to seeing you all in the fall!
