Literacy Learning/Art Project
In this month’s Literacy Learning section, Lori Deubner brings a bit of fun to your summer and demonstrates how to make a pop-up card. Pop-up cards are a great twist on ordinary greeting cards and can be simply created to delight your Oasis student, members of your family or friends. Watch Lori make a pop-up card for a student using simple supplies and techniques. Then, go wild with your own creation!

Badminton
Ladder Ball
Cornhole
Others include: Hide and Seek, Red Light/Green Light and Mother/Father May I. I would guess that you may have some creative yard game ideas that are family favorites.
