3 Ways to Use Summer Review Packets

1. As the summer looms ahead we are always crossing our fingers hoping that all they learned doesn’t slip away! Send this packet home at the end of the year so you know that their learning isn’t stopping as they step out those doors!
2. These worksheets are wonderful for early finishers any time of the year! Have your students store these in a folder or create spiral-bound books. Also, keep them in the classroom where they can easily access them. This way, when a student has finished that assessment, project, or center you know they are never sitting with nothing to do! These activities are great to take as a grade or even extra credit. Some teachers offer a fun treat or prize as incentive for those who complete their packet.
3. This packet is also great for those end-of-the-year centers. Use this packet in a station where they can go and review all they have learned! You can feel confident they can do this independently as you work with your learners who need your help!

With a quick print, copy, and go your students will be ready for some review and practice as we enter into the summer season. No more fretting that no standard is left unpracticed!
