Extensions for Home

Teachers are working hard to provide resources and materials to students. Please use the links below if your child is interested in going further in a specific area or would like additional challenges at home. We do not have approved supplemental resources beyond those in use in classrooms, but the web-based resources below are a good starting point if you wish to enrich your child’s learning outside the classroom.
