This summer vacation is going to feel a little bittersweet. Many of us didn’t get to say goodbye to our kids the way that we wanted to, and we’ve been home for so long that summer doesn’t feel like a “break”. But one thing we can all count on: next school year is coming. Our students will be graduating to the next grade level, no matter how much time they spent with us, and parents have been trying to navigate this “learn from home” life for longer than they ever could have anticipated. Many of our parents will be hoping for some easy grab-and-go resources for their kids to work with this summer.

Below, I’m sharing three resources in my store that are great to print and prepare for your students to send home for the summer. These are easy for students to follow and work with independently, which is what every parent wants during summer break! Each of the resources listed below comes with both a digital and printable file!
