New Math Resource

XtraMath is a new program that we will be using at school to practice our math facts practicing. Each day that students are with me, they will log on to their account and practice their math facts. I encourage you to practice at home each day that they are not with me for math (even on the weekends). Know these math facts will help them as the math becomes for complicated. There is even a app that you can download for free!

I will be sending home their log-in codes this week.
