OPPORTUNITY!
How to help students keep their numeracy skills sharp over the summer months...
As we head into the summer break, we wish you and your family a safe, fun and relaxing time! To keep your child engaged with numeracy over the summer, consider incorporating some math into everyday activities. Playing board games that involve counting or strategy, like Monopoly or Yahtzee, can be a great way to practice math skills while having fun. Enjoy the sunshine, relaxation, and exploration that summer brings!
Celebrate Summer BINGO at Fort Saskatchewan Public Library! For All Ages!
Everyone’s invited to welcome in summer! The library’s Summer BINGO challenge will help you get out and about and trying new things – or reading your favorite books in the sun! Pick up your monthly summer BINGO card at the Library or play virtually using the Beanstack app. Mark BINGO squares by completing an activity - or “buy” a square by reading for 30 minutes. Kids can earn weekly prizes and completed BINGO cards can be turned in for a new book that’s yours to keep! Teens and adults can play, too, and will earn Booksale Book Bucks and weekly entries into two amazing grand prizes. The games begin July 2 and run until August 31! Information on the Summer BINGO challenge and all of the library’s great FREE summer programs will be available at https://fspl.ca/ beginning June 14. Questions? Call 780-998-4275.
