Jumping Into Another School Year
Exciting new tools to facilitate our learning!
Dear 5th Grade Parents,
It's our favorite time of year again! With all the students back in the classroom, I am enjoying getting to know each of them and learn their individual personalities. What a great group of kids, they are! This is an exciting time for growth and changes not only for your kids, but also for me as I am implementing new tools and teaching styles that are tailored to better accommodate each individual student. Education should be easy and fun, and I am excited to inform you of three tools that we are currently utilizing to help make this the best year yet!
edmodo
This is a social networking site to allow students to connect with their peers and teachers. They can use this tool to stay informed, watch educational videos, study with more ease, and gain more guidance from me as needed. It should really help make learning more convenient.
ScreenChomp
This is an app that the students can download onto their iPhone or iPad to watch educational tutorials that I prepare. This app can record voices, videos, and pictures to make lessons more direct and interactive. It will allow me to give your students more supplemental material to continue the learning process outside of the classroom.
lino
This is valuable tool to share photos and sticky notes with classmates. We will be utilizing this for group projects because it is a cooperative and collaborative tool that allows students to communicate without having to meet up (saving you time and stress!)
Thank You!
I hope you are as excited about these tools as I am and please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to a great year!
