I feel very fortunate that our school system values technology the way it does. Having 6 student computers in the classroom allow the students to constantly reinforce and enrich their skills throughout the day and in every curriculum area. The software that Wrentham has purchased is utilized weekly in our center activities. Below is a list of programs we use on a consistent basis.  Feel free to check them out with your child at home!
Math
*xtramath.org- helps the children learn and memorize math facts
*mobymax.com- helps the children practice their facts
*reflexmath.com- helps the children build math fact fluency
Reading
*tumblebooks.com- children listen to fiction stories
*http://auth.grolier.com/login/bookflix/login.php- on Bookflix children listen to non-fiction and fiction pairings on a certain topic (for example I did a whole group lesson on a Time for Kids magazine article about spiders. Later in the week on Bookflix they listened to a non-fiction book about spiders and Diary of a Spider).
*http://reading.ecb.org/- children use Into the Book to practice the comprehension strategies that are taught in class (for example inferencing).
*raz-kids.com- students read a book at their independent reading level and take a follow-up quiz
*spellingcity.com/grade2Wrentham- the children are retaught and practice their Fundations trick words on this site.

  1. I love this little window into Norah's world! The pictures are awesome. Norah use to always answer "nothing", when we asked what she did all day. Your Blog now makes her an expert reporter! Thank you Mrs. Pitman!
