As summer break kicks off, you know how important it is to help students avoid the "summer slide"—that dip in academic progress that can happen when learning takes a backseat for a few months.

Memorial Day is more than just the unofficial start to summer—it’s a powerful opportunity to teach students about courage, sacrifice, and the meaning of service. By helping students understand the history and significance of this national holiday, we foster respect and gratitude for those who have served in the U.S. military and made the ultimate sacrifice.

As the final days of school approach, it’s time to shift into reflection and wrap-up mode. After a year filled with learning, laughter, and likely a few unexpected curveballs, organizing your classroom for the summer might feel overwhelming. But with a little planning and a few smart strategies, you can head into break feeling accomplished—and set yourself up for a smoother start next fall.
