Edmodo
Be sure to check on your child's technology work and progress on Edmodo! http://www.edmodo.com/. Click the "I'm a parent" link and enter your child's 6-digit code I provided you early in the year. Email me if you need your code again.
Google Drive
Google Drive keeps all of our student documents safe in a "cloud," no need to save to Word! Having trouble with Drive? Consider downloading Google Chrome instead of Safari; this has solved many a problem for at-home users.
Compass
Students have been working in class each morning on their personal Compass Learning Goals in both Reading & Math. Goals are based on their winter MAP scores. Looking for some extra instruction that is based on your child's individual needs? Compass Learning can be accessed at home 24/7!
