Summer Break


The summer break is a great time for students to get outside and run around. It's a great break from the work that children do every day in school. I always encourage students to get out and get their hands dirty. That's why I have in the past taught technology integrated courses through the York Parks and Recreation Department that brings a mix between using technologies and getting outside and getting some exercise. Geocaching is one of my favorite activities that blends the two together. This summer I will be taking on a new adventure in my career, and therefore I will not be teaching any courses through the Rec. Department, but I still would encourage your children to get out and play!

Of course on those rainy days, or evenings, when your child is asking for some challenges, they can always surf over to my web page and get some extra practice in language arts, math, science and social studies concepts playing some fun games, getting involved in project based learning activities, and even finding new events and outings around York and our community. Practicing over the summer will help them hone their skills and be ready for the upcoming school year as well. There are lots of great web sites and resources on the page, and I am continually adding more and more content to them daily. To visit Mr. Lawson's web page; http://www.yorkschools.org/~elawson
