| Your Thoughts? | | Families Together Inc. is a partner in the Technical Assistance System Network also known as TASN. TASN is a coordinated system of technical assistance (TA) that is designed to improve Kansas special education data. The goal is to effectively support districts to improve student outcomes. As part of TASN, Families Together, Inc. is doing research to find resources that will be helpful to students and their parents. Families Together, Inc. needs your help in doing this. We have found many web sites that provide assistance in math and reading, but we need to know if these web sites are really helpful. We will post a web site on the Monday memo each week and would like for your child and family to try the web site out and then send feedback to teresa@familiestogetherinc.org or german@familiestogetherinc.org and let us know what you think. Your input is very vital to this project. Thanks! This week's website is: http://mathplayground.com/games.html |
