Academic Corner
Parents of third and fourth grade students please be sure you go over your child’s Math homework. Students will receive homework in late April to help them prepare for the STAAR test, which will be on May 13th. Primary students can continue to work on Math facts. Talk to your students about everyday Math, for example: going out to eat, the grocery store, and counting real world objects. Please continue to use iReady to help with Math skills.
