Summer Blog 2020 for 6th, 7th and 8th graders SS and Geography

My dearest Middle School Students, Summer is here and you should be enjoying your vacation time.......but, there’s always opportunities to learn.  This Summer,  I challenge you to find non-screen things to do during the Summer.  I challenge you to learn something new this Summer:

• Ride a bike by taking a family trip to Shelby Farms or the Green Line or by mapping out a route in your neighborhood.
• Enjoy a new hobby discovering stamps, or coins, playing a new instrument, learning photography, planting a flower or vegetable garden.  The list of hobbies is endless.....
• Read a new book or book series, but choose something you like whether it be a “snack read” a short read like an atlas or a book with maps, facts or interesting information (like the Guinness Book of Records) or an “all you can read buffet” a novel or book series...
• Make/Create or Build something 
• Write letters to a pen pal or to your cousin or maybe a friend who has moved away this Summer.  It’s fun to receive letters via snail mail..........Or send me a postcard of your travels!!!!!!!!!
• Make a map of your neighborhood provide highlights of what’s fun to do if one should visit your neighborhood.  Also, include information that will help the reader understand your surroundings, like a compass rose, a scale and a map key.
• Do anything that challenges you!!!!!!

This is your “Summer Project 2020” and if you send me a picture or a note about your project I will award five (5) reward points.  I will accept up to three (3) challenges for a total of fifteen (15) reward points to be redeemed when we meet again in the Fall of 2020.

Send those notes and pictures to me at the following address:
