Summer

  • Simple Solutions SUMMER Challenge


    This year our school used the Simple Solutions program, a daily spiral math review, that helps students review math skills across the curriculum.  Over the summer it is important for your child to continue to practice the math concepts we’ve learned this year. This way they are well prepared for the next grade when school resumes in August. To help your child continue to develop these skills over the summer, students are encouraged to complete at least 20 lessons from their Simple Solutions Book, any lesson between Lesson #93  and Lesson #140. A great way to tackle this, this summer, is to have your child complete at least two lessons each week. All students who complete at least 20 lessons should bring their Simple Solutions book back to me by Friday, August 16th to receive a special prize.
