IXL
We've used IXL to reinforce our curriculum this year for all grades, and your child will continue to have access to the online program over the summer. With thousands of interactive skills, IXL is a fun way for your child to keep their learning fresh. Teachers sent home IXL usernames and passwords at the end of the school year. Click for login instructions and details for IXL. When choosing lessons in IXL your child should select the grade they are going into after summer.
