A Wrinkle In Time

I read A Wrinkle in Time, when I was an Early Childhood major at Kent State University as it was on my required reading list for my Children's Literature course.  I remember being curled up with this book in bed and getting in the fantasy.  Thinking it is time to reread it before the movie comes out.  Have you read it?  If so, do you want to re-read it? Are you going to see the movie?

 What is Summer Brain Drain? 

 Key Facts:

• Brain drain, summer learning loss, summer slide, or summer holiday ‘unlearning’ refers to students’ loss of skills and knowledge during the summer weeks when school is out.
• Students lose an average of one month of school learning over summer vacation/holiday, with some students losing up to three months of learning.
• Summer learning loss is greatest in math computation, reading and spelling.
• Teachers of all grade levels often need to spend the first several weeks of each school year reteaching what students learned the year before.
• Reasons for summer learning loss include limited access to books and the absence of positive reading experiences.

Things We Can Do to Help:

• Children read at least 6 books. According to studies, reading 6 books or more over the summer can help children retain learning from the preceding year.
• Build your home library. Have a diverse selection of books on hand from which your children can choose — children are more engaged when they select the books they read!
• Add concept books to the mix. Include books that reinforce basic learning concepts, especially math.
• Bring the books to life. “Unpack” the books through discussion and activities.  If you would like to host a Barefoot Books party to help with this please let me know

I would like to extend a huge thank you to the Litchfield Montessori School for choosing Barefoot Books and entrusting me with their recent book fair. What a generous, supportive, and giving community! Not only did the school earn a percentage of all sales in cash they were also gifted 41 books to their teachers by this generous community. Such an incredible support of the school and promotion of literacy. Thank you!
