Rising 3rd Grade Summer Learning
Required Math Practice
This summer Athens Academy is asking rising 3rd grade students to complete a series of lessons using the IXL program.
Please complete these Second 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.
