Learn Zillion
Even as a teacher, sometimes I need a little "review" to help my own children with their homework. Learnzillion is a fabulous, FREE resource that will let you (and your student) view videos on thousands of topics. Also, teachers can give a "quick code" for a video to help review at home. Parents can sign up for a teacher account and assign videos to their own "student."
Go Noodle
Summer storm rolling through? Too hot to play outside? Visit Go Noodle for calming and energizing activities. Learn deep breathing in the "Flow" section or dance along with some energizing music. Create a parent account and let the fun begin. These "brain breaks" are just what you need!
