Teacher Spotlight - Ana Cortez
In my classroom, I use Prodigy as a reward if the students are done with their work. I also use Prodigy on Fridays which are our Free Tech Day, and I create assignments for the students, so I can make sure they are grasping the concept they just learned. My kids are "LOVING" prodigy, and as a teacher wanting to engage them in learning, this was a perfect tool.

SBAC Practice Test
SBAC testing is around the corner, and it has a lot of requirements that have nothing to do with content! The link below is for the practice test. Students have the opportunity to experiment with the test and all of its functionality.

Grammary
Grammarly is a free app extension. Think of it as spell check (with grammar) for the entire internet. Wherever you're typing while in the Chrome browser this little extension will check your spelling and grammar. For spelling errors, a list of potential words will appear, just like spelling check. However, when a grammatical error occurs, Grammarly will give you a brief explanation about the mistake and suggestions on how to fix it.

Take a FREE virtual field trip to California State Parks
Registration Form
PORTs is a free program that will connect a real life Park Ranger with your students. You can tell the ranger exactly what you'd like them to focus on so that the experience connects mostly with your lesson plans.
If you're interested, feel free to use the linked forms or contact Jenna for a little more guidance through the process.

Multimedia TextSets + Goobric = True Love
Come and learn how to build background knowledge for your students in a fun, engaging way that won't take hours to set up.
Multi-media text sets can be put together in a matter of minutes and give students time to either review what they already learned or preview what they are about to learn.
