ALEKS MATH CHALLENGE!

Work on Aleks for at least 12 minutes a day for at least 15 days over break (3 hours total). If you do this, you receive an EXTRA 40 minute recess when you get back to school!!!!! If you miss a day, that's ok! Just do more the next day. Shoot for a total of at least 3 hours.

Don't want to stop there, you say? Well, if you move up into 6th grade math on Aleks, you get lunch paid for by Mr. Schmitz! 

Don't forget to read over break, too! Have an amazing holiday and new year!
