Before long, summer will be here and it will be time to say goodbye to your mentee until next school year. For some children, summer can be a boring time. Help your child make it through the summer months by creating list of things they can do. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Plant something and watch it grow ( provide the seeds for your child)
2. Go to the library and check out some books ( show your child on a map where the closest public library is)
3. Make a wish list for what you want to do when school reopens
4. Play hopscotch or foursquare on the sidewalk with your friends ( provide sidewalk chalk for your child or an inexpensive playground ball)
5. Blow bubbles with your friends ( provide bubbles)
6. Fly a kite ( if you have time, make one together or send an inexpensive one home)
7. Learn how to make a fly paper airplanes
8. Send a postcard to your mentor ( provide self addressed, stamped postcards)
