It's a great day for exploring! We're going to find all the geometric shapes around us.
  1. In pairs, find one of the shapes on the right out in the schoolyard
  2. One partner should point at the shape, and the other partner should take a picture of it on your iPad.
  3. Then switch. Find a different shape and have the other partner point to it.

We spent a few weeks training our Kindergarteners to use Reading A-Z. RAZ Kids is an online reading platform where students can read listen to and read books at their individual reading levels. They can take quizzes to demonstrate their comprehension and then earn points towards increasing levels.

This is always a very complicated process for kindergarteners. There are so many new skills involved! Here are the steps:
  1. Click on the box that says "name"

    • The keyboard shows only capitals, match them to lowercase
    • If you make a mistake, use the delete key to fix it
  3. Use Tab to get to the next box
  4. Use Return to submit
