Kindies - began exploring subtraction iPad apps: (list coming shortly)
1st Grade
- Dance Mat Mondays!
- Education City: click here to gain access at home.
- Wixie: Many have finished their first digital book! We have used the web-based version and the free iPad app to work on these (although, it is a bit sluggish). Many have started finishing. To see who has posted their project, check the password-protected page by clicking on "Secret Library". Ask your child what the password is. If they have forgotten, you can ask me.
- Dance Mat Mondays!
- Began 2 days with Math Lines
- Education City: click here to gain access at home. Goal: self-monitor: Students look at the assessment and find a score they would like to improve. Their work syncs with the scoreboard giving them immediate feedback on their performance. If a parent or teacher ever wants access to the scoreboard, please let Mr. Krulish know and he will give you directions.
