Reading opens the doorway to knowledge and discovery. In order to encourage our students to read, below you will find the summer reading lists and assignment for students entering grades four through ten. All students will choose one book from the list for their grade level next year and complete the summer reading assignment. English teachers will collect this assignment during the first week of the 2008-2009 academic year.

MATH ASSIGNMENTS
The Harmony Science Academy administration has implemented a summer math assignment that we hope will help your child to begin early to prepare for success on the next year math class. The brief assignment that your child has been given follows closely what he/she has learned this school year. Encourage your child to work these problems and begin now working on the quickest and most efficient way to work each problem. We suggest that you keep these problems on file for future review. Each summer we will add a new discipline.
Each student will be expected to be responsible for keeping up with this assignment and will be expected to turn in the answer sheet on the first day of classes in August. If you prefer, the answer sheet can be mailed to the school upon completion. It should be addressed to:
Math Department
5435 S Braeswood
Houston TX 77096
6th Grade Mathematics (Course 2)
7th Grade Mathematics (Course 3)
8th Grade Mathematics (Algebra 1)
9th Grade Mathematics (Geometry)
10th Grade Mathematics (Algebra 2)
Also, there are many tutorials available on line that your child can take advantage of for problems with which he/she may need help . The following links are just a few that are available:

| Harmony Science Academy named in Texas Monthly's Best Schools List |
Texas Monthly's fourth annual list of the Best Public Schools in Texas, which was released in the December 2007 issue of the magazine, includes Harmony Science Academy.
The magazine's partner in the annual effort is the National Center for Educational Accountability (formerly Just for the Kids) which analyzed student test results for the past three years to rank Texas public schools. Out of 7,956 public schools in the state of Texas, 859 were named the best in Texas. According to the Texas Monthly article, "Students at the elementary schools that are included performed better, across all grades, on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test than did their counterparts at other schools around the state. Middle schools and high schools made the list because their students' improvement on the TAKS test was higher than predicted by their previous test scores."
