Our class is giving a new online reading and math program a trial. The blurb on the site states: " Reading Eggs makes learning to read interesting and engaging for kids, with great online reading games and activities. And it really works! Children love the games, songs, golden eggs and other rewards which, along with feeling proud of their reading, really motivate children to keep exploring and learning."
Reading Eggs also has a "sister site" titled Mathseeds. Reading Eggs and Mathseeds can both be accessed from the same login site here and iPad app.
"Mathseeds teaches kids aged 3-8 the core math and problem solving skills needed to be successful at school with fun, highly interactive and rewarding lessons. Mathseeds combines highly structured lessons with fun motivational elements that keep children engaged and keen to learn."
This is a trail, please send us feedback about the programs, and if you would or would not like to continue using this as part of your child's homework/ computer work.
We will not have any formal homework assignments next week due to Thanksgiving. However, please encourage your child to work on Reading Eggs and Mathseeds daily as part of their "homework" next week. We will send home logins and passwords this week.
