4th & 5th Grade Information Sites
It is the intent of this project to offer both administrator and student alike direct access to pertinent data that tie to State (CA) and district (SCUSD) standards. Classrooms are often limited on the number of computers and time students have on computers. In order to stimulate and enhance student interest while limiting time spent a list such as the one to follow is necessary. The list will be organized by subject with some reference to either usage or the standard{s} it may pertain to.
