Here's my September suggestions: -->
For Parents:
This is a great resource
for parents and teachers. For parents, there is information on
reading together, connecting with your child’s teacher, helping a
struggling reader, early literacy, children’s books and authors,
top 10 phonics apps and much much more.
For Parents and
Children:
It’s never too early to
begin talking to your child about internet safety. This site has
information to help you no matter your child’s age. It explains
different topics, how to protect your child, and how to start a
discussion with your child. From this site there is a link to
http://www.netsmartzkids.org/
which has videos and activities for young children to learn about
safety. It would be great to watch the videos and do the activities
with your child.
APPS
Grades K-5
 |
Children select puppets,
props and a background. Then they record their own story using the
different characters. The characters and some props are moveable
while they are recording. The app changes the child’s voice to
match the character. I have not used it with students yet but it
looks like fun. Students can work on storytelling-beginning, middle
end, retelling a story and creativity! Puppet shows can be saved and
you could even share their show via Facebook or YouTube. The app is
free and comes with quite a few choices. There is a store where you
can purchase more content.
Grades 3-5
This app uses text, videos
and photographs to learn about animals, volcanoes, submarines and
much more.
PreK-1
Children learn what
animals like to eat, watch a video of an animal in its habitat and
play games that develop memory, sorting and reasoning skills. The app
is free and comes with 5 animals to explore. More habitats/animals
are available for purchase.
