We have entered to Week 2 of the Build up Summer Learning. This weeks Build up Summer Learning Theme is Pond. You will find 5 levels of learning: Tot, PreK, Kinder, First Grade and Second Grade.
This program is designed to help keep the skills that they learned during the school year fresh all summer long. We wanted our kids to keep up their learning all year long. We also realized that people have many different level of kids in their house. What is fun is that everyone works on the same theme.
This is a joint project with Royal Baloo! Build up Summer Learning is similar to the Jump In to Summer Learning from last year. Each week you are going to have 20 pages of printables for each level it comes down to 4 pages per day. One thing to note is that this is not the exact same activities repeated from last year. They are slightly different and the two programs could be used together. The only difference is that the ABCs don’t make up with the same weeks. This has been a really fun project.
This weeks theme also matches up with the Free Pond Pack

I love this program. Months go into its planning.
Oh my goodness. I loved week number 1 and I’m loving week number 2 as well. I can’t wait to have some fun with these with my little one.
There are 3 more weeks to come! This summer program is something I just love to have.
How fun is this?! I love that you are featuring different themes for different weeks… it breaks up the summer boredom!
Yes it does break up the summer boredom. Last year we did a similar program with 5 different themes. It is lots of fun use with my girls.
These are great activities and I especially love the books you chose to go with the theme. Thanks for the share! I need to go check some of those books out!
I love a lot of those books. It is always fun to have fun books to read with a theme.
Such a fun theme for summer! Love all your themes and am excited to use them with my daughter (soon).
I really like the themes this year. But then every year is fun!
These look like such fun sheets to do with my kids. Especially since they love ponds and frogs.
We always enjoyed studying ponds and pond life. These look interesting 🙂
I do as well. This is such a fun summer theme.
These are so awesome. I’m going to share them with my daughter who has pre-schoolers. Feel free to share your posts at my weekly parties if you like. Always great to stop by. Theresa
These look like so much fun to learn with and you have done a fantastic job yet again 🙂
Thanks Jill! This means a lot to me coming from you. We both worked really hard on this.
These are absolutely wonderful Cassie! Thank you so much for linking up to the Kids Learning Printables Linky Party. You have been featured this week. I can’t wait to find a way to use these as we learn this summer!
Lots of super fun! We’ll be using some of these for some of the Before Five in a Row books we’ll be working on later this fall!
Thanks for linking up with The Thoughtful Spot!
Great activities! Thanks for sharing this at the After School Linky!
Glad that you like it. I love this series!
