Last week we launched our 15 -30 -60 campaign and introduced the idea that you could fit learning into your schedules in lots of different ways. This week continues with more games and activities to keep your kids’ math and reading skills up over the summer. Here are a few resources (All Free!) for students of all ages to practice their skills so they are ready for the next school year. Whether you have 15, 30, or 60 minutes available you can follow these links below to keep your student learning!
