Rising 2nd Grade Summer Learning
Required Math Practice
This summer Athens Academy is asking rising 2nd grade students to complete a series of lessons using the IXL program.
Please complete these First Grade Math Skills using the IXL program. It is important to spread this work out over the summer. Ideally students should work in 15-25 minute sessions. Students may also explore other topics after they work on the suggested skills. For more information, please see the IXL parent letter. 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
To encourage continued growth in reading skills through the summer, the following list of titles has been compiled to assist children and parents in the selection of books. Students are responsible for reading the one required book BEFORE school convenes in August. Beyond that, it is not necessary to limit your choices to the suggested titles. There are many excellent books available through your local library. We ask that students spend at least twenty minutes a day reading or being read to.
