Expand horizons and
inclusivity through current events

When students can engage in meaningful conversation with their peers and families about world events, the immediate result is a positive sense of belonging. But the issue-based learning in each weekly edition of News2you also comes with many long-term benefits: the standards‑aligned articles and activities help students build life skills, become more motivated learners and even discover career options.

Access to a world beyond the classroom

As they experience new ideas through the content in News2you, students not only build comprehension and context relative to their community and world, they also develop new critical‑thinking and communication skills‑forming and expressing opinions about what they're learning. They're preparing to become productive citizens in life beyond the classroom.

Improved language and literacy skills

Research confirms that students who have access to newspapers in the classroom perform better on standardized reading tests. And for students with unique learning needs, the benefits of interacting with the informational text in each weekly edition are especially far reaching- expanding skills in reading, vocabulary, writing, digital literacy and more!

I love News2you! I've been using it for nearly 20 years and have seen tremendous growth in my students. One of my favorite stories is about a little guy we had a while back, who had some significant disabilities, and after reading News2you, he returned to school and said, "˜Miss, I saw this on the news with my dad, and we talked about it.' I thought, how wonderful, what a great communication opportunity for their family.

What inspires you? Get to know Alma Thomas, (b. Columbus, Georgia; lived and worked in Washington, DC, 1891-1978), an American artist and educator known for her signature painting style using bright colors and patterns inspired by nature. She became a full-time artist late in her life. Born in a time of horses and buggies, she lived through big advancements in technology, such as the space race and moon landing. Her art was inspired by the nature she saw outside her home studio, and awe for the exploration of our vast universe.

"I stumbled upon your fun interactive geography games from a link on the Massachusetts Geographic Alliance Website. Since then, your games have become quite a hit with my competitive colleagues!"
--Candice Gomes, Education Outreach Coordinator, Boston Public Library (Sheppard Software's geography games were featured in the Boston Public Library's 2006 Exhibition on Mapping)

"Terrific online educational games, especially geography."

First, let me say I love your website! I have students with learning disabilities that need multiple way to learn math, and your site fills the bill! - Darrin, Rose Park Elementary in Billings, MT

"Awesome site... it is the only reason I am passing my World Geography class!" --Stephen

"Our preschool teacher just sent us homework with this new website on it! My twins love it - they are 4 1/2 and can't get enough! The sounds, the action, so many choices and things to do. I bookmarked this for them and have sent the website to numerous friends and best of all it's FREE!-Cherie Ventola
Thank you for such a wonderful learning tool."--

"Let me say that you guys have an awesome website. I stumbled across your site one day, and it has been the easiest, most effective, and really the most fun method for learning geography that I've found." --David Weaver

"I am thrilled to have stumbled upon your site! As a homeschooling mom, I love to find sites that encourage brain activity and reinforce the facts I teach during learning time!
The range of information is wonderful!!! Keep up the fantastic work!"
-Mrs. JaNell Hancock

Your website has SO much to offer!

This site is exactly what I have been looking for! I have four children within five years of age and they can all play your games! I love that you can choose your level of difficulty. The games are colorful and simple, not cluttered like some. The instructions are easy to understand and they cover basic learning that can be neglected with other "too busy" games. I can't believe what a blessing it is to have stumbled upon this site! I looked up "kindergarten math games online." This is the first one that I actually enjoyed navigating around in and that actually kept the kids' attention without discouraging them.

This site will be a daily part of our learning! The kids were fighting over who could take the next turn at the learning game! It is reinforcing everything I am trying to teach.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!"

"It is an amazing tool! My 10 year old granddaughter has learned
every country on every continent. And so has her 85 year old grandmother! Me!"

Science - Intellectual Disabilities - The Nine Planets

# data[].attributes.body
When teaching students with ID's about the solar system, The Nine Planets Solar System Tour is a virtual tour which allows students to explore the solar system, the night sky and outer space.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Solar System Scope is an incredibly accurate solar system tour, allowing you to explore the solar system, the night sky and outer space in real-time.

All of the objects on the tour are accurately positioned based on where they are right this very second, and the tour contains interesting facts and information about the many objects in space.

Every now and then, don't you wish you could just pack your bags and jet off on an exciting, awe-inspiring journey across our breathtaking solar system? Ever wondered what it'd be like to skim past the gas giants or marvel at the icy rings of Saturn up close? Well, while Elon Musk is still working on making that a reality, I'll be your virtual guide on a one-of-a-kind solar system tour - an enlightening adventure, without the risk of being lost in space!

Our journey starts right here, on our very own life-logged planet, Earth. As we embark on this space voyage, we'll traverse through the neighboring rocky planets, glide past the incredible asteroid belt, and sweep across the majestic giants, their icy rings and numerous satellites. Towards the end, we'll be gracefully riding the gravitational waves, leaving the outer edges of our solar system, where you'll get a rare glimpse of the enigmatic region populated by icy objects known as the Kuiper Belt.

But before we start our engines and head for the inky vastness of space, it's important to remember that although space explorations have given us a fair idea about these celestial bodies, there's still an ocean of mysteries waiting to be unfolded. The real beauty of our cosmic neighborhood lies in its sheer vastness, diversity and the endless scope of discovery that it harbors. From the scorching heat of Mercury to the frigid reaches Pluto and beyond, brace yourself for an out-of-this-world experience!

The Exciting Experience of a Solar System Tour

Imagine the prospect of a real-life solar system tour. It's akin to a child's joy on their first trip to a theme park. A hands-on space exploration that goes beyond the textbooks, casting a mesmerizing spell on minds open to the wonders of the universe.

Propelling past Earth's atmosphere, you'd first mark a date with our closest celestial neighbor-the Moon. The Apollo astronauts traversed its dusty plains more than five decades ago. Yet for us, it would still be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Next on the itinerary is our scorched twin, Venus. Here's a fun fact, Venus is the only planet in our solar system that spins opposite to Earth.

Then we arrive at the pièce de résistance: our bloodline, the Sun. During the visit, you could learn more about its billion-year lifespan and its constant solar storms. The solar system tour would not be complete without a stopover at Mars. Known as the Red Planet, it's been the subject of numerous space missions, most notably the Mars Rover mission seeking evidence of life.

Here's a quick tabular overview:

The Moon

Closest celestial neighbor, part of Apollo mission

Venus

Spins opposite to Earth, Earth's scorched twin

Sun

Billion-year lifespan, constant solar storms

Mars

Red Planet, subject of Mars Rover mission

From the asteroid belt to Jupiter's turbulent storms, every celestial body sits ready to unfold its story. With the tour continuing to the outer reaches of the universe, you'd experience the icy solitude of the outer planets like Neptune and Uranus.

However, we shouldn't forget about an often overlooked, yet significant part of our solar system. Those are the comets and asteroids, remnants from the formation of our system almost 4.6 billion years ago.

Being part of a solar system tour, you wouldn't just be observing the cosmos. Instead, you'd immerse yourself in a cosmic ocean, each wave presenting a new revelation about the universe. It's not merely an experience; it's the chance to physically connect with the vast expanse of space that usually only feels a speck away in the night sky. This would indeed be a ticket to the greatest show in the cosmos.

Traveling through the Solar System: What to Expect

Imagine blasting off into the cosmos on a spaceship designed for a thrilling expedition! As we set off on our solar system tour, the things we'll perceive are extraordinarily vast and stunningly diverse. This voyage will give us a newfound respect for the majesty of the cosmic neighborhood we inhabit.

Our first stop will be Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. It's a small, bare, and intensely heated planet. We shouldn't forget the sunscreen as daytime temperatures can soar up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit!

Next, we'll swing by Venus - the hot, hurricane-ridden planet awaits us with an unbelievably corrosive atmosphere. It's interesting to note that Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most planets, including Earth.

Continuing our journey, we'll visit Mars. Mars has the tallest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, three times the height of Mount Everest. And don't forget about the giant canyon, Valles Marineris, which would stretch from New York to Los Angeles if it was on Earth!

Yet, our extraordinary adventure won't be all about planets. We'll have a chance to marvel at the Asteroid Belt, a ring composed of millions of rocky bodies. This celestial obstacle course lies between Mars and Jupiter.

Of course, we'll also encounter the majestic giants of our solar system. The gas giants, Saturn and Jupiter, as well as the icy giants, Uranus and Neptune, will present captivating sights. We'll see Jupiter's Great Red Spot, an anticyclonic storm larger than Earth, and Saturn's intricate ring system. Uranus and Neptune, on the other hand, will dazzle us with their stunning cool-blue hues.

Admittedly, going further to behold the beauty of Pluto, once a planet, now a dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, caps off this unique expedition. The journey end will leave us with an understanding of the infinite yet harmonious chaos that forms our solar system.

So buckle up, folks. The adventure through our heavenly bodies is par for the cosmic course. Our solar system, with its varied and breathtaking celestial bodies, offers a journey like no other. It's going to be a wild ride! Just remember, despite the vastness of space, we're never too far away from our home planet, Earth.

Conclusion: Reflecting on Our Intergalactic Journey

Wraping up, we've journeyed past planets and stars, across cosmic fields, and brushed alongside cosmic neighbors throughout our solar system tour. Isn't it just incredible that we live in such an expansive universe that holds so many unseen wonders?

Throughout our intergalactic expedition, we'll forever remember the unique characteristics of each celestial body. Let's just take a quick review again:

Mercury, with its sweltering days and frigid nights,

Venus, stunningly bright yet shrouded in clouds,

Mars, our red neighbor that pique our curiosity about extraterrestrial life,

Jupiter's giant gas storms,

Saturn's enchanting rings,

Uranus and Neptune's icy allure,

And let's not forget about our little cosmic sibling, the dwarf planet Pluto.

Something important stood out during our journey, invoking a sense of interconnectivity. Each exists in symbiosis, drawing and relying upon the sun's energy. Just like how everything on Earth is connected, so are we connected to our cosmic counterparts.

So, what's the takeaway? Should we plan to pack our bags and ship off to Mars? I'll leave that up to you. What I will stress, though, is the importance of space exploration. It's not just a testament to human curiosity, it's a driver of scientific breakthroughs and a reminder of the vast unexplored universe that lies ahead of us.

It might seem frightening, or perhaps intriguing. Yet isn't that the essence of exploration? Stepping into the unknown, learning new things, using that newfound knowledge to improve and innovate. And in doing so, perhaps we'll find more about ourselves along the way.

To sum it up, our universe offers infinite mysteries and wonders for us to discover. As we move forward, let's keep looking up and fueling our curiosity. Remember, no question is a bad question and our solar system tour just has begun. As we continue to explore the stars, who knows what we'll uncover? The only thing for sure is that the stars await, ready to share their secrets with us.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Kids can learn how to combine math and critical thinking skills in a game that addresses several Common Core standards. The app focuses primarily on addition and subtraction skills, but kids can use additional skills like number sense, counting, greater than, and smaller than to help them successfully play the game.

Gameplay involves a touch interface, which kids use to either separate or combine dots in order to produce a particular value. For example, kids may be asked to produce the value 6, and they have to work with dots of varying sizes to make a 6. In the beginner levels, dots include four attributes: numerals, smaller mini-dots, color, and size. These attributes help kids determine the value of the dots. For instance, a red 4-dot is larger than the 3-dot and includes the numeral 4 and four mini-dots on its face. Young learners can count dots to add or subtract, eventually figuring out that larger dots represent larger values and smaller dots represent smaller values. As the difficulty level increases, attributes are removed from the dots. In Expert level, only colors are given. Older learners can use more advanced addition and subtraction strategies, along with speed, to earn bonus dots. Fun animations and ease of use make Dexteria Dots - Get in Touch with Math a great way for kids to learn, practice, and build fluency.

This app can be found in the App Store. It is is a foundational skills practice tool that is great for special needs students.  It features adaptable activities with multiple themes and backgrounds to engage students with focused interests.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Skill Champ is an app that helps kids -- especially kids with learning differences -- hone core skills for school and home. On launch, users are prompted to practice skills combined with a specific interest, or they can choose to play a random combination. Interests include farm animals, the jungle, the beach, trains, and vehicles. Skills include picture matching, letters, numbers, colors, big & little, and happy & sad. Additionally, put-in and put-on skills are included; they target specific fine-motor and visual-discrimination skills. As a student completes a skill, the activity will provide feedback and assistance as necessary. For example, if a student makes an error, the app will reset items and highlight the correct choice in green. The student then has another chance to complete the activity. If he or she selects an incorrect choice again, the game completes the action correctly and moves on to the next item. Incorrect items are only counted at the end of the activity to continue positive reinforcement of successes. Settings can be adjusted to eliminate sound or background based on specific student need or distractibility. It will also allow teachers to turn a timer on or off. At the end of each activity, a time and accuracy score are given. Students can then replay that activity for more practice, or teachers can help them change to a new task.

This articulation app enables children to practice their speech using flashcard and matching activities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Configure your students.

When you add a new student in ArtikPix, you will configure your student via a wizard (i.e., setup assistant). The wizard enables you to configure your student's decks, sound positions, syllable lengths, grammatical levels, and matching level. The configurations are included when you select students for a session in the flashcard or matching activity. If you don't want to select students for a session, you can choose the Quick Start mode to simply configure decks and sound positions (and matching level for the matching activity). However you decide to configure your students, ArtikPix delivers the content you want.

Score your students.

Collect scores (aka data) in ArtikPix without the hassle of pencil and paper. ArtikPix features a group scoring system that works just as well for an individual student as it does for a group of students. If you do group sessions, you can collect scores (and take notes) for an unlimited number of students in the flashcard and matching activities. Detailed scores are displayed by sound position (e.g., initial b) and grammatical level* (e.g., sentence) during the activities. And there's no need to worry if a student makes a tallying mistake while self-monitoring. Just tap the undo button to fix it.

*The flashcards activity includes word and sentence levels; whereas, the matching activity includes words only at 3 matching levels: Easy (3 pairs), Medium (6 pairs), and Hard (10 pairs).

Export for a range of dates.

After you collect data in sessions, you don't want it stuck on your device. In ArtikPix, you can easily export data (scores and notes) for one student or all of your students. And the best part is you can export the data for a range of dates; that is, you select start and end dates for exporting. This is great when you need to report progress for a period of time, as in a quarterly progress review. The exported results allow you to accurately assess progress for students across sessions.

Create your own cards.

If you purchased the full version or all of the decks in the free version of ArtikPix, you can create your own cards (using the app's illustrations or your own photos). It's easy and fun to do with students. You may want to create cards so that a child can practice his/her sounds in spelling words and/or individualized sentences. After cards are created, the decks are intuitively available to select for use in the flashcard and matching activities. The custom cards are a great supplement to the vast amount of existing content (1,033 total cards, by default) in ArtikPix.

Configure options.

ArtikPix has options to enable varying levels of support for students. There are audio and visual options to facilitate speech practice. For example, the audio options may help students who have difficulty with reading. The options can also be configured to remove audio prompts and distractions.

ArtikPix has audio options (e.g., All Audio) and visual options (e.g., Hide All Tallies) for the flashcard and matching activities. The options can be turned ON/OFF via the Options screen (More > Options).

Make in-app purchases.

The free ArtikPix version comes with the 'b' deck for flashcard and matching activities. 23 more decks are available for purchase in the app. You can buy them individually or all of them at once.

To buy decks in the free version of ArtikPix, tap the Shop button on the Activities screen. Then, tap the price for a deck (e.g., 'ch') in the ArtikPix Store. If you purchase 'All Decks' or all of the decks individually, the Create module will be enabled to create custom cards for the flashcard and matching activities.

Available for iPhone and iPad

When you add a new student in ArtikPix, you will configure your student via a wizard (i.e., setup assistant). The wizard enables you to configure your student's decks, sound positions, syllable lengths, grammatical levels, and matching level. The configurations are included when you select students for a session in the flashcard or matching activity.
