This week the kids starting using a website called Scootpad. We are very excited that it exists because it helps them practice concepts for reading and math that they need to know by the end of 3rd grade. These concepts are quite a jump because of the new Common Core standards. The kids think it's fun to practice, send positive remarks to friends and earn rewards.
At conferences, you will learn how to access your student's information. I will be setting rewards they can earn at school and you could set rewards for them to earn at home. This resource just started in 2012 and it's completely free - which is AWESOME!
Zach has been telling us what a great job the class is doing in math class!
