​Required Reading:  Please complete the attached reading log.  Fill in one book per line (title) with the day you started the book and then the day you finish the book.  The minimum number of pages required is on the Reading Log.  Feel free to read more than that – lots more!  So don’t wait—begin now—and get off to a great start  on your summer reading.  J

In general, we do one lesson each day with homework given daily Monday through Thursday.  Students usually do not have math homework on weekends, but are encouraged to go on IXL or Moby Max for additional practice.
When lessons are review of previous concepts, we will do two lessons.  Then the homework is just the even numbered problems.
