MATH
For our rising 2nd grade students, we recommend the purchase of the BJU Vacation Stations (CAN BE PURCHASED FROM CHRISTIANBOOK.COM) for your child. It is a way for your child to continue to practice what they have learned. A few pages a week can really help to reinforce the important skills they have learned during the school year. This student-friendly book allows students to practice these learned skills. Just 20 minutes of practice per week, during the summer months, can really help reinforce what they’ve been learning.
As your child completes a few pages a week , they’ll continue to make use of the knowledge gained—all while practicing important skills. It’s a great way to keep them learning a little bit at a time!
