What in the world is that website???
As you will discover very quickly- we use a wide variety of websites at JMI and in our classroom. Here is a quick overview of what each of those websites are and how they are used!
Google Classroom: This website is where all assignments are posted and submitted. As a parent, you will have access to your child's status of assignments (complete/incomplete) and be able to see the due dates for assignments.
Parent Portal/Genesis: This website is used to input students' grades for the marking period. On Parent Portal you can view grades for assignments /continued learning/ assessments and see if your child is missing any assignments that should have been handed in.
Study Island: This website is used as practice for NJSLA in class and for continued learning. Students may be given weekly assignments to complete that are aligned with what they are learning in class.
Discovery Education: This website is used as our Science "textbook". Since we no longer use traditional paper textbooks, Discovery Education is our main resource for science activities, explorations, reading passages, and videos.
Lexia: Lexia's pre-K–5 literacy solution is built around the specific needs of each student. The solution is designed to adapt based on student responses and provide real-time personalization while students work independently online. Real-time data from student interaction is sent to the teacher, fueling customized lesson plans based on each student's needs. Using the program's norm-referenced and criterion-referenced embedded assessment, teachers can focus on personalized instruction without having to stop to administer a test.
BrainPop: This website is used as a resource with cartoon videos that help explain the concepts that we are learning about in class
Epic: This website contains free digital books for students to read.
Prodigy: This website is a great engaging way for students to practice math concepts we are working on in class in the form of a game!
XtraMath: This website practices math fact fluency and adapts to your child's progress!
