Summer Fun!


 Image result for last day of school



With Summer approaching, it's important to maintain the skills that your child has learned throughout the school year. Making fun games to play to progress their motor skills is easier than you think!

Here is a fun way to use sidewalk chalk to make a movement area that also asks a child to follow directions, practice reading skills, and motor plan!

Please see below for a site that will allow you to print a calendar for movement activities for the entire summer! 


Get your summer activity planning calendars and have all of your summer activities planned for each weekday. These calendars focus on summer gross motor planning! 

It is so important to keep moving throughout the summer! You can make a "bucket list" of activities to complete! 
For example: 
1. Play on the playground  
2. Go for a walk in the woods
3. Make an indoor obstacle course
4. Pick an exercise of the day to complete together
5. Go to the pool

Whatever it is...keep it fun!

Just keep moving!
