Summer Bingo Challenge 2026

Eden Elementary’s Math & Reading Summer BINGO Challenge 

Summer is finally here, which means family, fun, and sun!  It has been a great school year at Eden Elementary! With all the progress we have made this school year, we want to ensure our students continue to excel.  With a large break from school, students tend to fall into what is termed the “summer slide”.  This means that students experience learning loss over the summer months.  Imagine if you were an athlete or musician and took two months off from any form of exercise or practice.  Your performance would be adversely affected.  Research reveals that an average summer learning loss in math and reading for American students amounts to approximately one to two months per year!

• “Decades of research confirm that summer learning loss is real.” - New York Times
• “While it’s clear that everyone should experience periodic breaks from their daily routines, it’s also true that prolonged periods of time without practice affects performance.” - Ronald A. Fairchild Executive Director, Teach Baltimore Johns Hopkins University
• “Summer learning loss is a well-documented phenomenon, with students losing between one and two months’ worth of academic knowledge each summer.” - Edutopia

Therefore, the Eden Elementary Team would like to help students maintain all of the progress they have made this year by strongly encouraging them to complete the fun Math & Reading Summer BINGO Challenge we have created!
