We all know that kids need activities and learning experiences over the summer to keep their brains fresh! ETA hand2mind has graciously allowed me to review one of their awesome products:
Home Team Advantage® SUMMER Goal Achievement Packs
Grades PreK-8
I've been exploring the 3rd grade pack over the past couple of weeks and I'm in LOVE! Watch the video below to get a better idea of what's in the pack and how effective this could be for your child!
And now, the fun part!!!
YOU could win this!!!

This is wonderful! Summer is such a long break for the students and I am worried about how much they have done when we are not there to ensure that they are still reading, doing work, etc.
ReplyDeleteThis would be great for my students!

I love the activity calendars!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Dana! I've been following your blog for months. I have sets of comprehension Versatiles in my fifth grade...love them. I believe they have a pre-k version for little ones, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'm always looking for ways to keep my kids from sliding backwards during the summer time!

I forgot to add... my favorite part is the beach ball! We do a "beach" themed day for our kindergarten students at the end of the year and we go outside for our reading block and have a day at the "beach" reading and thinking of what we could do over the summer to keep practicing reading and writing. How fun would this ball be to bring and use to work on reading comprehension when we are out on the "beach"?
ReplyDeleteWhat I like best about this is the versa tiles. I have used these in my classroom before and they are engaging for the students!

I love your blog and great ideas. I've been using Versatiles with my students for a number of years and they love them. So many times they don't even realize that they are working and learning.

I love versa tiles! I think a lot of parents struggle with what to do to help their child over the summer and this would give them some direction!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome group of activities! I think that the best thing about the pack is all of the hands on materials! These would be great activities to engage my students in all year round in my small group classroom!
ReplyDeleteI'm always searching for something to help my students with over the summer. This would be great!!

I really love how diverse a resource it is, with seemingly built-in differentiation! It would certainly support the development of all learners over the summer!

Love the Rainbow Rumble! What a cool idea. The activities are so 'hands-on' which is always a plus in my classes!
