Summer Work/Assignments are due, periodically, during 1st 6 weeks (as each topic fits into the course flow.)  These will be assessed and count towards the 1st quarter grade along with other material taught at school during the first quarter.

Why must there be a summer assignment?  My kids need a break!

In short, we all need a break from time to time but most people, in the "real" world, take shorter vacations (one to two weeks) and not two months at a time.  They need a break from the rhythm of life but not an interruption of it.  Specifically, in Mathematics, research has shown a "summer slide" in skills of up to a month of learning loss! 

My assignments are designed to be completed weekly.  Do one lesson per week!  This allows for time to have fun but still keep skills sharp enough to not have deficit when students return in the fall.
