Questions To Ask

There are very few words in the book so make sure to ask questions about the pictures

Ask what they think is happening or what will happen next

Talk about things we do in the summer; like playing outside, going to a beach or cottage, swimming, celebrations

 
Things To Do

Go outside and look for signs of summer

Have a special picnic in the local park or playground and find a nearby splash pad.

Bring in and show photos from their summer trips. Add captions and post these on a board

Take photos and make a special photo album for the summer

If it is not summer write down all the things the children want to do for the summer.
