Way to Go!
Starting in January I would like to start sharing some of the great work you are doing with your students day in, day out! This will give you an opportunity to get some amazing ideas from your colleagues.
Technology Integration
Base Ten Blocks Math
Check out this app! If you only have 1 iPad, this is a great way to model the place value system without getting out all of the blocks. Base Ten Blocks gives students hands-on practice with place value! Designed with the input of several expert educators, this app provides a range of activities for students at all levels and learning needs. This is ideal for Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade and Third Grade. Experience interactive manipulatives in your classroom!
