First, I want to thank each and everyone of you that took time out of your busy schedules to visit with me during parent/teacher conferences. It was great having the opportunity to discuss your child's educational progress with you. It truly takes a village and I appreciate all of your support! I wanted to share some resources with you all that we use in our classroom on a daily or weekly basis. Some of these resources I discussed with some or all of you.
Math:
Earlier in the year I sent home information on how to login to Xtramath. This is a website we utilize during math that helps us on fact fluency. I resent this information for all families that have yet to sign up for the program. All students have started on beginning addition. Here is the link for this resource: XTRAMATH LINK Please use your child's student login to access their Xtramath lessons.
Reading:
Thanks to a successful first grade movie night, I purchased a license to Raz-Kids for our classroom. This is a great site where students can read book at their independent reading level. The application contains a variety of books for each level that are bright, colorful, and engaging. The students listen to the story being read to them, then read the book on their own. Afterwards, they have comprehension questions to answer about the stories they are reading. I receive reports on their progress as well and can assign them books and activities that match their need as a student. The application is free to download on all devices and can be used on the computer as well. I sent home login information with each child on Thursday. Here is the link for this resource: RAZ-KIDS
Reading Eggs:
This is a site we haven't quite used in class yet, but will be adding to our applications that we use in the classroom soon. I will go ahead and add the link now and will be giving login information soon, so please be on the lookout for it. READING EGGS
See Saw:
I gave all families the parent flyer for accessing your child's portfolio on SeeSaw. We will continue to use this application to showcase our work in the classroom. If you sign up for SeeSaw Family, you will be notified each time your child adds something to their portfolio. SEE SAW
