Spring Updates

Dear Families,

       Thank-you for a wonderful start to the year and first round of practice STAAR testing. There is a new math resource that Mr. Guzman found at a recent training we want to share with you. It is called Think Through Math. It is a wonderful practice website. Each student has their own name and password. They have taken a pre-test in class, that has set up a curriculum to get them ready for the 4th grade STAAR math test. The students will be given time to work on it in class, but they are also allowed to work on it at home. The more they practice, the more points they earn. The points they earn are used to create their avatar.

Click the link below to access the website. If your student has forgotten their login and password please e-mail Miss Parker and she will send it to you.

Think Through Math

Best Wishes,
Mr. Guzman and Miss Parker
