Luis Munoz Marin: I-Ready All-Stars

Check out our I-Ready All Stars at Luis Munoz Marin.  These students are hard at work at learning Math at their own pace thanks to i-Ready.  Did you know that teachers assign special lessons for students based on the students' needs?  And did you know that the students can work on i-Ready at home or on a computer at the local library?  Students have a goal to work on i-Ready for 60 minutes in each subject per week.  Ask your student about i-Ready and how they are doing on their personal Math/Reading goals.
