This last week I am not assigning any new work! Make sure to finish any missing assignments for me or your special area classes!

June 8Water DayEnjoy playing in some water today!
June 9e“X”ercise DayGet some exercise today!
June 10Yoga DayTake a break and do some yoga. Maybe even do a Go Noodle!
June 11Zoom Offline DayHave a wonderful summer vacation!

This summer you should:

  • Continue with Zearn. It will eventually put you in 3rd grade. You can continue doing it even when you get that far, but you will still need to complete the same zearn when you get to 3rd grade. This will help you learn some material ahead of time, which is great!
  • Continue with your math books. We did not get to module 2, part of module 7, and part of module 8. Anything we did not do would be great practice! You can even do the sprints!
  • Continue with RazKids! It will be active until school starts again.
  • Continue reading real books!
  • Continue looking at Scholastic News articles.
  • Continue MobyMax.
  • Continue XtraMath.

Keep in touch with me this summer. I will miss you!!!
