Educational Sites:
As explained on their website, "Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. Our vision is that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science. We believe computer science should be part of core curriculum, alongside other courses such as biology, chemistry or algebra."
Almost all my students are working in the Headsprout Early Reading Program or the Headsprout Reading Comprehension Program.
Please have your child login at least 3 times each week and complete 1 lesson each time. Please note: In the Early Reading Program, starting at lesson 5, there will be a short book to read after completing each lesson. Please have your child practice reading to you. This is the book your child will have to pass to move onto the next lesson.
- Early Reading - 10-20 minutes average per lesson
- Reading Comprehension - 15-30 minutes average per lesson
All my 2nd and 3rd grade students are working in Reflex Math. Please have your child login at least 3 times each week and complete 1 lesson each time (10-20 minutes average per lesson

Educational resources and games.
The navigation features of the website are simple and straightforward. The homepage provides links to six main grade level categories: Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, Third Grade, Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade. The grade level categories are broken down by content categories: Letters, Numbers, More (shapes, social studies, art) and Holidays.
Content is carefully mapped to the Common Core and aligned to academic standards. A nice feature is the online Standards Tool in which you can search for standards that your child is working on in school. (You can search by subject and grade, too.)
