Dear Families,
Please take a moment to review the linked games and resources as a way to keep your young mathematicians engaged in critical thinking and problem solving activities over the summer.
You will notice these resources are grouped by rising grade level. There are Resource documents for both new and returning students. Except for Rising Grade 8 students where the activities are the same for both new and returning.
Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Warmly,
Sara Kronstain

Middlebury
Middlebury Interactive
New to Grade 8? Please use the form below to purchase a virtual "seat" in Middlebury Interactive. We use this program in lieu of a language textbook.
What is Middlebury Interactive?
Students new to the 8th grade will practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing the language through an online platform called Middlebury Interactive. These activities will provide students with increased exposure to the target language outside of the classroom, which is ideal for foreign language acquisition.
Usernames and passwords will be distributed at the start of classes for all students who have paid for the seat. Seat licenses cannot be shared among students, and this program is only available to current St. Anne’s-Belfield Students.
Summer access is available for all current St. Anne’s-Belfield students, but our site license is ending on August 1, 2022. Beyond this date, Middlebury Interactive will only be available to new grade 8 students.
