Arbor School Summer Homework 2024

Our Summer Homework is intended to help each student consolidate, maintain, and even extend the level of proficiency that has been gained during the school year and to help each child return to school feeling confident and prepared to tackle the first work of the year, the teachers assign work to be completed over the course of the summer. Further, the project work permits every student, whether or not they are new to the class, to enter the first day of school having learned something about a shared topic, creating common ground and a sense of surety and pride about a beginning point. Old Hands are pros at Summer Homework; for our incoming families, welcome to this, your first summer of Summer Homework.

The projects are designed to be done either intermittently in small portions or in a consolidated manner in a week or two, and many are most effective if completed in late August shortly before school begins. We do NOT wish students to spend disproportionate amounts of time on these projects. Please note the time parameters that may be indicated on the project outlines.
