Grammar school math: Mrs. Mitchell enjoyed spending time in the fourth and fifth grade classrooms this year teaching them how to play various logic puzzles. Students were sent home with a packet of these puzzles, but several students asked how they could find even more puzzles over the summer. Here are Mrs. Mitchell’s favorite websites:

• Sudoku (printable): sudoku.cba.si/en

• Sudoku (playable): websudoku.com

• Hitori (printable): printable-puzzles.com/printable-hitori-puzzles.php

• Hitori (playable): puzzle-hitori.com (contains many other logic puzzles)

• Kenken: kenkenpuzzle.com/game

• Nonograms: nonograms.org/nonograms

• NYT games: nytimes.com/crosswords (we didn’t play these together but they would likely appeal to many of our students)

Upper School Math: We have eliminated our required summer math assignment but still highly recommend students spend 20 minutes per week refreshing their math skills. Here are the pdf instructions on how to access the old summer assignments.

Grammar School Science: The upper school math and science teachers read “From Wonder to Mastery” last summer which contained a suggested list of “Things rising 7th graders should know”. We have attempted to integrate some of these into our grammar school science curriculum, but some pose logistical difficulties (e.g., “Watch animals being born”). For those looking to enrich their young scientists this summer, see the full [adapted] list here.
