I have several last edition Everyday Math Skills Link and Study Link workbooks in my storage closet. The Skills Link book includes cumulative practice sets, while the Study Link book is similar to the homework students have completed throughout the year for math. If you would like to have a copy of one or both of these books for student practice over the summer, please let me know!

Every fourth-grader in Indiana can visit both a National Park and an Indiana State Park for free this year.

“Every Kid in a Park” is an initiative established by the federal government and supported by a variety of partners. It allows fourth-graders to download a pass from everykidinapark.gov for free admission for them and their families to more than 2,000 federally managed lands and waters nationwide – including national parks, national forests and marine sanctuaries – for a full year.

Current fourth-graders can download and use their fourth-grade passes through Aug. 31, 2016, and current third-graders can get their fourth-grade passes starting Sept. 1, 2016.

Indiana State Parks will honor these fourth-grade passes in 2016 as a way to celebrate their 100th anniversary this year, which coincides with the National Park Service Centennial.
