Friday - November 22, 2019


Thank you for all families that came to Learning Conferences!!!

As many parents asked about different tools and websites to support their child at home, I've listed a few apps and websites that we use in our classroom. If you child doesn't remember their passwords, we can take a picture with Seesaw to share with you.


Epic!
Epic! is a reading and learning platform. It offers access to books and videos for children ages 12 and under. The service can be used on desktop and mobile devices.
Class Code: did7082


Prodigy Game

Prodigy unlocks the power of game-based learning and is designed to be engaging for children. The application actively adapts to keep each child’s learning at his/her own pace, automatically identifies knowledge gaps and scaffolds them through difficult concepts. It is designed to ensure children master fundamental math skills, build fluency, understand complex word problems and develop deep conceptual understanding through the use of virtual manipulatives.

Khan Academy

The organization produces short lessons in the form of videos. Its website also includes supplementary practice exercises and materials for educators.

Students listen to the audio and read and complete dialogue for the following questions: Comment t'appelles-tu? Tu t'appelles comment? (introductions); Comment vas-tu? Comment ça va? (state of being); Tu es de…? Tu es de quel pays? (country of origin). Expressions include: Bonjour. Salut. (greetings); Bienvenue. Merci. (expressions of politeness).
