Happy Summer Vacation!

Today begins the first weekend of your summer vacation.  Use your time wisely and remember to keep your mind active-no one wants "Summer Loss" when returning to school-right?

Enjoy your books, magazines, and any other summer reading you do, plus, you can keep track of your iReady lessons and minutes on your iReady logs.


Also, take time to just plain enjoy your summer!

Here's some links to activities I thought you'd enjoy starting today with Fidget Spinners.
