Summer 2010 Enrichment Hub

Week 3 Update!

clarken — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 18:45:12 +0000

Welcome to Week 3 of the GATE Summer Academy! You can see Assignment #3 on the Ancient Greeks posted to the left along with the Research Website hub. This website will link you to other websites, so you might be exploring all over the web to gather information! IXL Priorities for the rest of the summer are just to explore the skills of your upcoming grade level – any that you like, and to log regular time – as regular and as much as you can! Also, get going on the Sense-Lang typing. The faster you are in the fall, the more work you will get done, and so the more opportunities for enrichment of your choice you will have! Be on the lookout for an email update with more information on your zoho email!

IXL Priorities for Mr. Clarken’s Class have been updated, but remember that you can explore IXL and work on any skills you like! You can review last year’s grade level, work on next year’s grade level, or even advance farther if you like! Also, our second project is a biography of your choice. Choose from the website linked. See the links to the left for details!

With all of the online activity, don’t forget to do the two most important summer activities – get outside, and kick back and read a good book!
