Rising 1st Grade Summer Learning
Optional Math Practice
This summer Athens Academy is asking rising 1st grade students to try a series of lessons using the IXL program.
Please try the IXL Summer Boost skill plan - Math 1st grade using the IXL program. It is important to spread this work out over the summer. Ideally students should work in 10-15 minute sessions. Students may also explore other topics after they work on the suggested skills. For more information, please see IXL-Summer-Parent-Handout. Should you need assistance please contact: Returning students: [email protected] New students: [email protected]. For technical problems, please call our tech department at 706-433-2532 |
Summer Reading
Welcome to Lower School! Each summer, our school provides suggested book titles to encourage summer reading. The books listed for 1st grade feature beginner readers (meant to be attempted by the student) as well as beginner chapter books, social-emotional learning books, and graphic novels (meant to be enjoyed with a grownup or family)! These titles are only suggestions. The most important thing is that students read all summer and are enjoying it. Rereading favorites is also encouraged! We recommend your child reads 20 minutes a day all summer.
