#RuralEdChat A1: For some Ss, school is the only normal part of their life. To be denied that during the summer can be unsettling.

MrsMikesell May 16 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Summer is scary. Where's lunch? What's the routine? #RuralEdChat

In reply to @TG_Neil

nataleestotz - Moderator May 16 @ 8:43 PM EDT

#RuralEdChat @CaseyJ_edu Good examples of community helping to support Ss! Some around here provide lunch in summer.

CaseyJ_edu May 16 @ 8:41 PM EDT

No regular friends or food. Plus some houses are unstable. Ask local @thecubscouts @venturingbsa and @boyscouts for info on free camps
In reply to @TG_Neil, @thecubscouts, @venturingbsa, @boyscouts

TG_Neil - Moderator May 16 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A1 I use to teach where Ss liked school for structure and stability. Miss those Ss tons! #ruraledchat

CaseyJ_edu May 16 @ 8:43 PM EDT

#ruraledchat @TG_Neil Some schools do backpacks home for weekend w/ enough food for family. Ask local @USArmy for MREs

#RuralEdChat A2: Increase in behavioral issues often precede vacations, esp. summer.

BritGlad May 16 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Q2: Behavioral outbursts that result in a consequence of more time with an adult #ruraledchat

tchrdonna May 16 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A2 lack of enthusiasm, acting out, being distant or clingy #ruraledchat

spiraledu May 16 @ 8:48 PM EDT

#ruraledchat I think my students are worried because it means the end of 3rd grade & there isn't a new teacher hired for 4th yet :(

In reply to @TG_Neil

#RuralEdChat A2: acting out as transition approaches. Seem to sabotage positives.

In reply to @TG_Neil

yes. anxiety over growing up and facing changes is heightened as we approach endings. #ruraledchat

In reply to @spiraledu, @TG_Neil

Anger. So often anger. And disassociation. #RuralEdchat

In reply to @spiraledu, @TG_Neil

A2: transitioning to a new building depending on the grade level transition. #ruraledchat

LindaAragoni May 16 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A2 more than usual hyperactivity or more lethargy than normal #RuralEdChat

CaseyJ_edu May 16 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@TG_Neil @NPCA @RuralEdChat @rural_futures @cfra I wish parks were free for kids over the summer!could lessen learning loss #ruraledchat

tchrdonna May 16 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A2 Retention is hard in private school as well. Very hard on Ss no matter where. #ruraledchat

nataleestotz - Moderator May 16 @ 8:53 PM EDT

In the private school, that is often deciding factor in parents re-enrolling their children. #RuralEdChat

In reply to @tchrdonna

TG_Neil - Moderator May 16 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Our third question is on its way. #RuralEdChat

BritGlad May 16 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A2: Summer also leads to the stress of athletics on top of academics. #ruraledchat

CaseyJ_edu May 16 @ 8:54 PM EDT

Its true! In urban areas we have food give away trucks. @usdaRD give $ to farmers to do same in rural areas #ruraledchat

In reply to @nataleestotz, @usdaRD

TG_Neil - Moderator May 16 @ 8:55 PM EDT

** Q3 ** How can we use technology to relieve some of this stress? #RuralEdChat

Time for me to head to bed, #RuralEdChat I'll have to catch the archive for the rest of the chat. Good night, all!

robinhosemann - Moderator May 16 @ 8:56 PM EDT

do you mean parks & rec programs? That would be awesome. Shouldn't just be for privileged kids. #ruraledchat

In reply to @CaseyJ_edu, @TG_Neil, @NPCA, @RuralEdChat, @rural_futures, @cfra

#RuralEdChat not many farms here. Just mountains. We lost the last farm in the town last year.

In reply to @CaseyJ_edu, @nataleestotz, @usdaRD

Generally there is a cost of some sort. #RuralEdChat

Do you have to pay to go to parks in the states? like ones that have supies? fun programs/supervision?freeinCanada
In reply to @CaseyJ_edu, @TG_Neil, @NPCA, @RuralEdChat, @rural_futures, @cfra

CaseyJ_edu May 16 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A3 #ruraledchat Skype and podcasts are great ways for teachers to stay in contact over the summer! Most smart phones have ability

spiraledu May 16 @ 8:56 PM EDT

In Alaska, summer is all about duck hunting & fishing so there is lots of food! Winters are really hard but schools open #ruraledchat

In reply to @CaseyJ_edu, @TG_Neil, @USArmy

tchrdonna May 16 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A3 skype is great to keep in touch! Young Ss love to get snail mail,postcards too #ruraledchat

BritGlad May 16 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A3: Create summer youtube playlists to help S w/ calming, growth mindset and problem solving. #ruraledchat

robinhosemann - Moderator May 16 @ 8:57 PM EDT

that's a quiet but important loss. #ruraledchat

In reply to @j6panus, @CaseyJ_edu, @nataleestotz, @usdaRD

LindaAragoni May 16 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A3 perhaps set up some social media place where Ss can meet with trusted adults from school over summer #RuralEdChat

kendallmarie47 May 16 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Q3: maybe have them type out what they are stressed about #RuralEdChat

nataleestotz - Moderator May 16 @ 8:57 PM EDT

that makes me sad. #RuralEdChat

In reply to @j6panus, @CaseyJ_edu, @usdaRD

j6panus May 16 @ 8:58 PM EDT

#RuralEdChat not many parks like that. Yes, they cost! And travel to get there. Closest 30min-hour drive time.

edventures - Moderator May 16 @ 8:58 PM EDT

#RuralEdChat A3: I don't know about tech, but our district hosts a "Summer Blast" program to help provide continued contact over the summer.

tchrdonna May 16 @ 8:58 PM EDT

#Ruraledchat that breaks my heart! So sad!! Do you do a community garden ?

In reply to @j6panus, @CaseyJ_edu, @nataleestotz, @usdaRD

robinhosemann - Moderator May 16 @ 8:59 PM EDT

#ruraledchat Parks and rec programs can be difficult for some students to access in rural areas due to transportation issues, etc.

j6panus May 16 @ 8:59 PM EDT

#RuralEdChat A3: communication, maybe. But the food and structure can't be solved with tech. And many low income don't have the tech.

In reply to @TG_Neil

nataleestotz - Moderator May 16 @ 8:59 PM EDT

I wonder how many Ss have much more limited access to tech without school? Especially in poor rural areas. #RuralEdChat

In reply to @TG_Neil

BritGlad May 16 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A3: Provide parents with these tech resources too, they may not know how to ease summer stress via tech. #ruraledchat
