Summer Learning By Helen Waldron, founder and principal at Waldron Education @helenwaldron93 Summer is the time to mitigate the COVID learning slide While the far-reaching impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are affecting almost every aspect of life, one area hit particularly hard is education. When school resumes, it seems reasonable to expect two things: students will have made varying degrees of progress academically, and some version of a “COVID slide” will occur. We know there is variability in learning loss over the summer break, but adding in COVID interruptions, many students are experiencing unprecedented gaps in their education. The term, COVID slide, was introduced by Dr. Megan Kuhfeld and Dr. Beth Tarasawa in a recent policy brief, connecting the expected slip in progress due to COVID-19 with the established “summer slide” phenomenon. According to the brief, educators and administrators should draw from their understanding of how summer breaks impact learning in their efforts to gauge the pandemic’s effect and this is an important consideration for parents.

Bounty from the Good Earth By Tovah Martin @tovah1 Photographer: Rebecca Pollak @rebeccapollakjones @loamfloraldesign Fowler’s cut flower year starts early with the first tulips, progressing into the last zinnias of the season with plenty in between. That said, she doesn’t confine her repertoire solely to the typical cuts. Instead, she explores the field and adds ingredients that bring nature’s beauty to the fore. And she definitely does not work alone—being part of a community of growers is paramount to her philosophy. “I never want to grow it all myself. My approach is always to be inclusive—not competitive.” Full story - link in bio ‘On Our Radar’ #loamfloral #loamfloraldesign #microfarm #newprestonct #floraldesign #nature #flowers #springishere #litchfieldcounty #litchfieldhills #ctvisit #nwct #nwcornerct #explorect
