A set of updated summer playlists, designed with the framework of Connected Learning<\/a> in mind, offer fun activities that engage parents and kids in connected learning all summer long, highlighting the ways that learning happens in all aspects of life.<\/p>\n

During this time of physical distancing when many camps and other summer opportunities are closed to youth and their families, we will be posting summer playlists once a month as a way to engage in fun activities that underscore how learning happens\u2014not just in school, but in all aspects of life\u2014whether it\u2019s on a walk with the dog or in the preparation of a family meal. We also hope these activities provide a loose structure for families to simply hang out and enjoy each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n

\"\"The first of these playlists, which focuses on cooking, eating, and local foodways, is called Summer Eats!<\/strong><\/a> Designed for all ages, they are meant to specifically support youth under 13 and are able to be used, with parental support, for much younger children.<\/p>\n

\"\"In July we introduced\u00a0Bug Out!<\/a><\/strong>, a set of activities that sends participants on a search for bugs and encourages exploration of their habitats, followed by activities for making bug-inspired crafts.<\/p>\n

\"\"And finally, in August we introduce Late Summer Storytelling Adventure<\/strong><\/a>, an invitation to create and tell summer stories. Whether it’s exploring behind the house or apartment, leveling up in a favorite online game, or getting ready to head back to school, there’s always a story to tell.<\/p>\n

We invite you to dig into these playlists at your own pace and convenience; activities are structured around how much time you have available, so you\u2019ll find things to do if you\u2019ve got 5 minutes or an entire weekend. Engage via the hashtags #WriteNow and #NWP on social media (Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram), and share your experiences with these playlists and the creations that come from them.<\/p>\n

Happy play!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
