Dear Parents,
Since it’s the last day of school I need to give you your summer homework. In addition to IXL and reading assignments…try at least some of the following:
*Count how many rainbows you can see (double rainbows count as 2).
*Stare at the night sky and think about the universe that God created.
*Go to a thoughtful movie and talk about its message with your mom or dad.
*Better yet…have a screen time contest with someone in your family. It’s like a staring contest but you see who can go the longest without looking at a screen…a TV, a computer, a phone, an Ipad. Sure these are all great devices, but summer is an excellent time to put down your screens and experience the real world.
*Dare to try something you’ve never done before.
*Have a sleepover.
*Eat sushi.
*Ride a roller coaster.
*Do a cartwheel.
*Hold a frog.
*Give your grandma or grandpa a bigger hug than you’ve ever given them before.
*Visit a church you’ve never been to before and sit up front.
*Be nicer to your brother or sister than you have to be.
*READ…something…anything…a book, a magazine, road signs on a car trip, the Kids Page in the Post…READ, READ, READ.
*Be willing to laugh at yourself when you do something goofy.
*Practice writing…mail a letter to your mom or dad and tell them how much you love them.
Most of all…
Enjoy your summer.
Play hard.
Pray harder.
We’ll see you at the end of August!
