Learning doesn’t have to stop during the summer! As we near the end of the school year, this is the perfect time to support parents with additional learning opportunities. Summers are a wonderful time for families to build memories and skills through projects. Through project-based learning, learning life skills can help a child become well rounded and strengthen family ties.
Suggesting activities or challenges at home sounds great, but looking for additional content and resources can be time consuming. We’ve done the hard work and partnered with familiar house-hold brands to bridge the gap between home and school!
Have parents get involved in our #MakeItCount challenges for an opportunity to win fun prizes, and have fun with their child! Even if the prizes have been given, you can still challenge parents to participate and post pictures within ClassTag!
Each challenge has 3-4 fun-packed family activities. Click on the challenges to learn more!
