Google accounts!
Students were introduced to their google accounts this week and we are so excited about the opportunities these accounts open up! We will use google accounts for collaborative work in class through googledocs and email and also use google accounts to access a number of other sites that we use for math practice. Students can log in at home to access these sites for independent practice if they so choose. If you would like to receive your child's email and password please email Ms. Katie at kmancino@tworiverspcs.org.
CK12.org
CK12.org is one of the first math practice sites we have introduced to students. Each student has joined our class group and will access assignments during our math block through this platform. However, students can also use their gmail account to access this site at home and explore a wide variety of topics. Check it out with your student and encourage them to use this resource to practice new skills or skills they want to strengthen!
