   Study Island

 The students will be working with the math program Study Island this year.  Early in the year, I will begin assigning activities that will review and reinforce math concepts that are being taught in the classroom.  If your child has computer access, I highly encourage him/her to work on these activities at home.  The students will be assigned user names and passwords that will enable them to access our class page.  For your convenience, you can go directly to the Study Island website by clicking on the math student below.
