Thursday, November 11, 2010

It was great to see all of you during conferences! The students are working hard and making great progress. I wanted to share a couple of websites for you to use at home to help with reading, math, and spelling.

Math

http://www.everydaymathonline.com/

This site has games and resources that go along with our Everyday Math program. Your child has his/her user name and password in the front of the planner. Have him/her use the games to practice facts and skills we are working on in class. Good games to play are: Addition Top It, Basketball Addition, Name That Number, and Number Grid Difference Game. Pretty soon, we'll add Multiplication Baseball to the mix as well!

You can also access the Student Reference Book on-line at this same website. Some of you mentioned that your child forgets his/her reference book from time to time...well no more excuses! :) Just hop on the Everyday Math site and you can access this book right from your computer!

Reading

http://www.pearsonsuccessnet.com/

I will try to do a better job putting our leveled readers on this site so your child can read these books to you at home. It would be good for you to listen to your child read these stories, and you can even add them to your child's book log if you do read them at home.

You can also access your child's assessment scores on this site, too.

Spelling

http://www.spellingcity.com/

Your child can put his/her spelling words on this site to play games to practice the words. We use this site at school, so your child should know how to navigate the site. It's a fun way for your child to practice his/her spelling words!

Thank you for encouraging your child to read, write, and practice math facts at home. Your help and support is so important to your child's success at school!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm here to help and support you as your child learns and grows in 3rd grade!
