When I think about the Internet or technology in my classroom, I think about how it will be beneficial and meaningful to my student’ learning. I ask myself two questions:

  1. Are the activities meaningful?
  2. Will their learning be enhanced or reinforced about a unit of study, concept or skill?
For me computers and iPads should never replace direct learning and in my opinion, never, never, to learn about a new concept or skill. When my students use computers or iPads, I ensure that they are learning the majority of the time. There will be times, when we are learning how to manipulate QR codes and that may be the exception. However, whatever activity or app they are using is always connected directly to our unit of study and to the concept or skill we are trying to master. Most importantly it is differentiated. Websites are introduced, apps are pre-set, and in most cases students are assigned a specific activity that will reinforce phonics & phonemic awareness, comprehension, number sense, writing, or language development. 
One of my favorite websites that has differentiated activities for all kindergartners is abcmouse.com.
This website offers FREE ACCESS to ALL of their activities to ANY PUBLIC, PRIVATE, OR HEADSTART teacher. 
The teacher section is amazing! We have access to numerous math, reading, high-frequency words, pre-school skills printables and then some. We can even create our own printables, plus it has 6 levels of learning for differentiated instruction. 
You can build a class by groups or as a whole. Each student is assigned an avatar and their progress is tracked. Most importantly, you can build lessons with specific activities that will target a skill a student may need help in (phonics or numeracy.) I encourage you to use this website if you are new to using technology in the classroom and are uneasy about iPads or computers. Did I mention this website also has a TUTORIAL on how to use a “mouse” just for KIDS!
If you are a teacher, here is how to get started!!!

1. Go to abcmouse.com and click on the school/teachers section. 

2. Select whether your a public, private, or headstart teacher. You will be prompted to create an account (it is 100% free if you provide a school email) 

3. Go to the teachers section and have fun building your class! I recommend you set up your teacher settings first, then student settings. Once that is done, go to class builder and enter your student’s names. Levels can be assigned for differentiation!!! At the beginning of the year many of my Kinders are Level 2 or Level 3. Level 6 is the highest (end of kinder.)

This website is perfect for phonics, phonemic awareness, and number sense! Covers ALL Kindergarten foundational skills for Common Core Standards to include some of the Reading Common Core Standards for literature and informational text! I Love it!! Feel free to share or email me with any questions!

Because I love this website so much and use it!! I will also be giving away 3, 1 full year free paid subscription to 3 lucky kids!!

✨ Who was your favorite teacher and in what grade? 
Mine was Mrs. Richardson, 3rd grade! She taught me how to write in cursive and I loved it! It was my favorite time of the day!

•Therefore taking care of the body, mind, and soul has always been a priority to us.
•It is so easy to get burnt out, discouraged, and lose #momentum in our professions and the simple things in life. 
•We promised each other to always make time for three things because of this. They are God, Us, and our home. Everything around us can be falling apart… sometimes even us, but finding our Identity in the one who sets us free, always brings us back to reality and being grounded!
——
•So, Dear Teacher, Make time to ground yourself and make your family your priority! Have a Happy Sunday! For us, #sunday is for church 💞 and remember #selfcare is continuous.

Happy 88th birthday to pioneering British primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall! A trailblazer in the study of chimpanzee behavior, Dr. Goodall is known worldwide for her animal welfare and conservation efforts, and the establishment of the Jane Goodall Institute. She has been named Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire and a UN Messenger of Peace. The Jane Goodall Institute, founded in 1977, is a non-profit that works to increase global awareness and understanding about the natural world, and in particular the lives and habitats of primates. To this day, Goodall still travels to Gombe frequently and actively encourages the involvement of youth around the world in conservation work, particularly through her "Roots and Shoots" program.To introduce young children to this trailblazing scientist, we highly recommend the board book "Where's Jane" for ages 2 to 5 (www.amightygirl.com/where-s-jane), the picture books "Jane Goodall" for ages 5 to 8 (www.amightygirl.com/jane-goodall) and "I Am Jane Goodall" for ages 4 to 8 (www.amightygirl.com/i-am-jane-goodall), and the chapter book "Jane Goodall" for ages 4 to 7 (www.amightygirl.com/jane-goodall-champion)For older children and teens, we recommend "Who is Jane Goodall" for ages 8 to 12 (www.amightygirl.com/who-is-jane-goodall), an autobiography by Goodall for readers 8 and up entitled "My Life with the Chimpanzees" (www.amightygirl.com/my-life-with-the-chimpanzees), and the graphic novel “Primates” for ages 12 and up (www.amightygirl.com/primates)Adult readers may appreciate the following works by Dr. Goodall herself: "The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times" (amzn.to/2PTVhUl), "In the Shadow of Man" (amzn.to/1pFBNcv), and "Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey" (amzn.to/1uPdiAG)For children's books that celebrate more pioneering female environmentalists, visit our blog post "25 Kids' Books About Female Environmentalists" at www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=14831And for kids for want to pretend to be Jane, we recommend the 'Chimpanzee Care & Nurture Vet Set' for ages 3 and up at www.amightygirl.com/nat-geo-chimp-care ...

There, I said it! I still use magnetic letters in #thirdgrade • Struggling readers struggle because they aren’t proficient in letter sound correspondence or as they get older, in spelling patterns.• Stop pushing “more reading” and start teaching phonemes and phonological awareness.• Trust me your students and families will thank you! ———While reading comprehension is huge in third grade, I encourage you to strategically use those magnetic letters during small group instruction and watch those comprehension skills soar ✨————#thirdgradeteacher #iteachthird #maestrabilingue #tchr888 #maestrasdeinstagram #reading #nbctstrong ...
