Summer Websites

Included in report card envelopes, you will find a salmon colored sheet titled: Summer Websites. This sheet contains various websites your child can access this summer to keep their skills sharp. In addition to site addresses, you will find your child's username and password for each. Please locate this and keep it in a safe location.

Compass Learning: A site that contains educational tutorials and practice activities assigned to your child based on their MAP test results. There are both reading and math activities here.

KidBiz 3000: An online reading site that delivers daily articles at your child's reading level. In addition to articles, there are multiple choice questions and written response options. This is the same as Achieve 3000.

Khan Academy: This is an online math site that takes students through a wide array of math skills offering support and videos along the way. They should use their Google account to log in.

Google: This is their district Google account. It can be used to access Google Drive if your child wants to journal electronically. Google Drive is a great app for tablets.

Follett Shelf eBooks: Our school has purchased electronic copies of over 100 books. This is where your child can go to read these books.

BrainPop: A great place to go for quick informative videos and activities ranging from the Civil War to Photosynthesis.

Please contact me if you have any questions about these sites. Have a great summer!
