Keep changing it up. When i did Summer School, we were covering a week of regular school each day (3 hr session). I had to have the students up and moving, different activities, etc to maintain their sanity and mine :)

Tomorrow is my last day of summer school! Honestly I love it! I spent a lot of time building them up reminding them how much knowledge they came to me with and we built on that. I tried to make connections constantly to real world and next years curriculum.

Summer school starts Monday! It's my first time teaching a summer session. Any veteran teachers have suggestions for motivating students during the summer? #edchat #summerschool #education @MAINETOY @teacher2teacher
