Check out yesterday's SAT question of the day. Challenge your teen to see who knows the most. Make it a fun family activity. Divide up into teams. Prep daily in small, bite-size pieces. Your teen has apps available to work the problems I'm sure. Have them show you how those work. Your mind will be blown. Then have them explain the process to you as review. "When we do we learn, when we teach, we understand." If they can't teach you how to solve the problem, then "we" (the school and parent team) know they don't truly understand the concept. Getting the answers is easy these days with apps and artificial intelligence. "We" need them to understand the process. Reminder: July 26 is registration. Get those physicals!

Ms. Phegley
Attention Class of 2024,
I am reviewing your dual credit enrollment. Do not be concerned that your schedule has not populated in Teacherease yet. It will. I will enter dual credit class in first so that you can breathe easier.

Who wants to win an IPad? IXL is having a contest.
Some of you were IXL ROCKSTSTARS and won awards at the end of school. LET THE NATIONAL LEADERBOARD SEE CLAY CITY, IL RANKED. Note: I chose NOT to allow our children's name to appear. Rather an initial followed by the school name will appear on the leaderboard.
Prize: Each winner will have the choice to receive a 32GB iPad® or $330 VISA gift card. To receive a prize, the entrant must be in compliance with the official rules as solely determined by IXL. In the event a winner is determined not to be in compliance, the prize otherwise due that winner may be awarded to the next eligible entrant.
Do you wonder what questions on the SAT look like? Sign up for a free question per day and take away the pain of cramming six weeks before the test. Use it as a way to talk to your teen about what they are learning and how they are practicing these types of skills.
Become Part of the Pack.
Keep playing. Summer is great fun.
