Embrace summer – and the many learning opportunities in the days ahead
Forget about math camps and 300-page workbooks, embrace summer days ahead and what your children – and you – can learn from the much-deserved break.
A hike along one of our many trails, time along the Yuba River or visiting a library or museum are all learning experiences that can open the door to many new learning opportunities, says Mark Heine, a school social worker and child/family psychotherapist for Nevada Joint Union School District and President of the Bright Futures for Youth Board of Directors.
Learn how to turn summer fun into a first-hand learning experience, whether you are taking a trip or visiting family – or simply enjoying nature here at home. Please check out the guest column by Heine that appeared in The Union newspaper.
And embrace – and enjoy – summer.
