Hi parents- Are you looking for something to support your students academically this summer? Prodigy is a great tool that keeps math (and ELA) fun. My own kiddos have loved playing Prodigy and have begged for me to pay the small fee for an "upgraded" version of Prodigy. The free version is just as awesome and fun. Below are the links for the information and the registration for a free account.
