Summer learning loss

Hi kiddo! Do you know what summer vacation is? It's a time when you get a break from school and can relax and have fun.

But, did you know that when you take a long break from learning, your brain can start to forget things you have learned? That's called "summer learning loss" or "summer slide."

Your brain is like a muscle that needs exercise to stay strong. When you stop using it, it can weaken a little bit. And if you don't practice things you learned in school, you might forget them come fall when you go back to class.

That's why it's important to keep your brain "exercised" during the summer. You can read books, work on puzzles or math problems, or even do science experiments at home. This way, when you go back to school, your brain will still remember the things you learned before summer vacation.

So, even though summer vacation is a fun time to play and be with friends, it's important to take a little time each day to exercise your brain and prevent summer learning loss.
