As the school year concludes and summer begins, we are excited to provide your child with a Summer Enrichment Packet. The primary goal of this packet is to help prevent the effects of “Summer Slide”. Summer Slide refers to the tendency for students to lose some of the academic gains they’ve made during the school year when learning is paused for an extended period.

Rather than pushing ahead into new material, this packet is designed to help students maintain skills and knowledge they’ve worked so hard to develop. It is about preservation, not advancement. At Lionheart Classical Academy, we understand and deeply value the importance of rest, play, and quality family time during the summer months. We also believe that a healthy engagement of the mind can be part of that fun. Summer should be a joyful time for your children to explore, imagine, and make memories. And when learning is woven into that experience, it creates a smoother transition into the new school year and helps children return feeling confident and capable.

The table to the right outlines the expected math fact fluency by grade level based on the Singapore Math approach, which emphasizes building a strong foundation of number sense and automaticity. Automaticity is defined as the ability to recall facts accurately in 3 seconds or less.

Students of all ages should be practicing their math facts until they are fully mastered. You can useflash cards, playing cards, board games, apps, dominos or other toys, printed worksheets or any othertools to keep it fun and fresh.

Lionheart will email families admitted from the lottery or waitlist with information on how to complete the enrollment process.
