What's in this packet? This involves reading/writing.

• Pizza Party Tracker (3 options): you can pick whichever one you want and as a class or family pick 3, 6, or 10 goals to hit before summer (or through summer), then celebrate with a pizza party! As a class, you can start now and finish before the year ends! I've provided some ideas too.

• School To-Do list: all are optional, but all are encouraged. Some may not apply (e.g. if someone doesn't have a pool), but it can give kids ideas to have fun throughout the summer, and even to share about it the next school year. You can also explain they can modify them (e.g. the pool can be a friend's pool, or they can sell Kool-Aid instead of lemonade or something). Optional pages are included to explain in detail about their accomplishments.

• Reading Map: I felt nostalgic with this one! Your local library may have a similar one, where you're encouraged to read for a prize or event or something. This includes a map to track how many books there are, a chart to track titles and dates, and pages to write thoughts about each book. You choose the prize/event!
