We use it everyday. It works as a basic facts game. I used it last year in third grade and my students were masters at their basic facts by the end of the year! The students enjoy it a lot  and we look forward to basic fact time everyday!]]> 2017-09-07 14:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/185526468 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/185530989 Class Dojo is a very interactive app! It allows parents to get involved on their own devices. They can take a peek at what is going on in the classroom through "stories" and monitor their student's behavior with our "dojo points" throughout the day! It allows students to be accountable for their behavior, as well! At the end of each day, the class dojo winner is announced and they receive a delicious "cutie" to take home and eat]]> 2017-09-07 14:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/185530989 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/185548130 Epic might just be my favorite app that we use! Epic is the leading digital library for kids, where kids can explore their interests and learn with instant, unlimited access to 25,000 high-quality ebooks, audiobooks, learning videos, and quizzes. I can monitor and take a peek at what kids are reading and how much they are reading. I use it for read alouds and implement it into science, math, and social studies lessons! ]]> 2017-09-07 15:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/185548130 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197352103 We use Book Creator to publish our stories that we work really hard on during our writing time. So far, we have published a small moment narrative on book creator. We will continue to use this app throughout the year. ]]> 2017-10-16 13:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197352103 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197353168 We use this app in addition to our awesome reflex app. I can monitor students progress and they can monitor their own. It works like Reflex, only it isn't as interactive and creative. It is a great basic fact program!]]> 2017-10-16 14:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197353168 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197355250 We use word cloud to practice our spelling words. Students type in their spelling words and word cloud creates a layout for their words using different colors, fonts, and layouts. It is used as a creative outlet and it is a fun way to get familiar with spelling words. ]]> 2017-10-16 14:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197355250 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197370581 We use Pearson Realize every Tuesday and Friday during our "math reteach" time and with every Topic test. Students access quick check quizzes. Each lesson of every topic has a 5 question quiz that looks similar to their topic tests. It is a great way to get comfortable with the format of their online topic tests and for me to monitor their progress. It helps me know what concepts I need to touch on with more depth. We also use this website everyday as a whole class during our math lessons with interactive lesson videos, guided practice, and independent practice.]]> 2017-10-16 14:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197370581 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197394193 This app is a very exciting and interactive. We use this for social studies and science lessons. Students are able to take pre-quizzes and see their results, watch content based videos, and take virtual field trips! At the end of the lesson there is a post-quiz and they can monitor their new knowledge. Students absolutely love the virtual field trip  component and it is so much fun!]]> 2017-10-16 15:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197394193 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197508715 You can access so many things on my website! Spelling, Vocabulary, Newsletters, Specials Announcements and events, my math posters for every lesson, student of the week, photos of what is going on in the classroom, our classroom expectations, class dojo access, and a look inside the apps we use on our iPads! ]]> 2017-10-16 18:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/197508715 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/220789742 We use seesaw quite a lot throughout the week. I create interactive assignments and activities for the students. The goal is to empower students to take ownership of their learning and to reflect on their progress over time. Students can comment on each other's work and interact through the app. ]]> 2018-01-11 20:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/220789742 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/252728409 The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries. It is an opportunity for every student to try computer science. We are learning computer coding using the Hour of Code website during Computer Science Education Week from Dec. 9 to Dec. 15.

It provides fractions strips/circles, decimal strips/circles, and percentage strips/circles. ]]> 2018-04-17 19:00:37 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/252738705 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/332969739 We use the Calm App after recess to get our minds and bodies ready to learn again. We have "mindful spots" around the room. We lay down and listen to the different nature sounds and take deep breaths. You can use this after specials, in the morning, or during dismissal!]]> 2019-02-19 23:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/332969739 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/332972666 I incorporate this website to teach different SEL words and release students to research concepts like healthy habits, how to manage their feelings, and how to stay safe.]]> 2019-02-19 23:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/332972666 caking2 https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/332974287 We use this amazing website for vocabulary, social studies, social emotional learning, current events, science, etc. Students love flocab because it engages them with age appropriate songs and raps that teaches rich content. It provides many resources for teachers and is also very interactive!]]> 2019-02-19 23:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/caking2/z7b0cf8twbt/wish/332974287
