Free Summer Learning Program

Internet4Classrooms has put together a free summer learning plan for
every age level from Pre-K through High School.

On a daily and weekly basis, we will provide students and parents fun activities, links to
great learning games, and other educational resources that will help
them get ready for the 2010-2011 school year.

We feel that summer learning loss is a major concern.
  • Did you know that on average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills during the summer months?
  • Research shows that teachers typically spend between 4 to 6 weeks re-teaching material that students have forgotten over the summer.
We've designed this program to keep students engaged in educational activities.

Here is the link to sign up for the program:

Please share this link with anyone
that you feel may be interested and/or benefit from this program.

Best Wishes for a Great Summer!
