IXL, raz-kids and SpellingCity

IXL.Com--- http://www.ixl.com/
I just recieved an email saying that our students have completed over 1300 math problems and have spent 8 hours and 45 minutes working on their website! That news is awesome! I love seeing that Sean, Kaitlyn, Thema, Omari, Cameron D., Marie, Albert, spent almost an hour on the web site last week. I am so happy to see that Kyle, Andrew, Jasmine, Matteo, and Vyrenne visited the site in their spare time. that is 40% of our students playing math on their own!


SPELLING CITY--- http://www.spellingcity.com/
We have a few friends that have already explored this web site. I have heard from Mia's parents that there is a free app for iPhones and iPads so that your child can access the site at any time, and Kyle's mom shared that once you log-in, they will save your password and you don't have to put it in again.  I love that Cameron B., Kyle, Vyrenne, Kaitlyn,  have played some of the games already and Sedrick and Mia have logged in to see what it is like!


RAZ-KIDS.COM---  http://www.raz-kids.com/main/Login
We have had half the class checking out Raz-kids.com already! I am so excited that you guys are jumping right in!  Cameron B has listened to 19 books and taken 18 quizes. KAitlyn has read 8 books, and taken quizes for all 8 books.  Matteo has read 7 books and taken 6 quizes.  Albert and Jordan have both read 6 books and taken some of the quizes, so cool!  Cameron D. has read 5 of the books. Others that have begun investigating this web site are Sedrick, Stevie, Sean, Omari, Marie, London, Jasmine, Charlotte and Andrew. Please let me know if the level seems to be too easy or too hard. I kind of guessed at the levels when signing the kids up for the web site.

Way to use the technology available to us! Keep up the good work!

  1. WTG! Glad to know about the spellingcity app! That will come in handy. We had desktop issues and were unable to access razkids and spellingcity because they require flash and it wasn't working. A neighbor fixed it this weekend and we are up and running so will get on there this week :)
