4. ST MATH
Each child has a unique
password given to him/her by ST MATH that he/she must memorize;
teachers do not have a copy of the password. I will be monitoring
the students' progress and we will be working on ST Math at

students who complete at least 75% of the entire ST Math syllabus
(or more) will show greater success on the Math portion of the
MAP test.
5. Coding
Students are working on coding this year! We are very excited
because they are being introduced to computer programming!! Each child has a
