Sorry for the week hiatus! We are back on the blog!
First - Hunters Creek just got a new math subscription called “Mangahigh Math”. It’s an awesome website where there are fun math games as well as games that we can assign for our kiddos. It lets the teachers assign “challenges” to the kids where they play games to practice their math and it lets us see their progress and assign games with more rigor as they advance through the program. We wanted to let you know that it is available to use at home and throughout the summer as well! Your kids can work on the challenges we assign them (IF YOU want them to) or they can play around on the math games. Everything on Mangahigh is math education and the kids are finding it very fun and exciting!
