Yesterday, students got to explore two fabulous websites that will help them enormously in math and science.
The first one is www.ixl.com
This is a site where students can practice their math skills in a highly motivating and rewarding manner, where success results in medals, points, and prizes! Medals on IXL also reward students with classroom bonus money! Outside our room, and on the blog, I will post a weekly Leaderboard, showing off the top ram king students in the class! Also, starting next week, students will have homework assigned on IXL. Please make sure students have access to a computer so they can work on their homework and work to improve their skills! Student login information is located on the first page of their planner.
The second website we visited is www.explorelearning.com
This website features science and math applications called Gizmos. We will probably only have access to this site for a short time, but we will make the most of it while we can. Yesterday, students had fun trying to grow plants using a variety of variables.
A third site that we didn't have time for yesterday is www.pearsonsuccessnet.com
This is the companion site for our new math program, enVision. On the site, students can access their complete text book, along with animated lessons, manipulatives, printable practice worksheets, and games for each and every lesson in the series. The student login information for this website is the same as the student login information for the school computers, which is also printed inside their planner.
