Homework, Week of June 2nd

Summer Break Work:

IXL! The best thing for all students to do is continue working on skills at the 5th grade level.  The reason for this is simple: in 6th grade, we will continue using IXL.  If students are working on skills at the 6th grade level now, the reporting will be inaccurate.  This is the direction that is being provided by Ms. Halleron, Mr. Amrein and myself.

What skills to work on?  You know best!  If you are struggling working through problems with division, work within "Skill H", Decimals: "Skill C" and so on.

It is recommended that students spend at least 30 minutes per week.  Doing so will allow you to sharpen skills and keep your edge.

Have a great summer!
