Tech Tools to Help You @ Home
Khan Academy - free videos, lessons, and tracking of your student's progress for grades K-12 Math.
Starfall - free Reading, Vocabulary, and Spelling activities for PK-2nd grade
Booktrack - free interactive books with accompanying soundtracks; There are a few children selections, but these are primarily for Junior High and up. Many of our JH students produced their own stories last year on this site. It's super cool! There is a smart phone app available as well.
Mr. Nussbaum - (Mrs. Shaw's favorite) free games for grades K-6, all subject areas. Parents, try your hand at Torture the Teacher. It's a fan favorite of the students. :)
