Students often like to work on projects, practice skills, and enjoy educational websites from home. I check these links once or twice a year. If a link does not work, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I appreciate your help in keeping this page updated and accurate!
Here are some of the best tools for our families:
Granite School District Parent Portal will allow parents and students to view grades, End of Year assessment scores (RISE), lunch money balances, and set up appointments for SEP's. As a parent, I use this weekly to observe my children's progress and completion of assignments. I hope you find it a useful tool, too.
Granite School District Parent Portal
Family resource from Utah State Board of Education with all 3rd grade standards
The State of Utah and UEN (Utah Education Network) have built an outstanding online library where information of all sorts is now available to view. Check out Pioneer Library
Salt Lake County Library System is also fantastic and full of amazing resources. Anyone living within the county can receive a library card (with proof of residency). They have excellent children's programs and books.
Google Classroom is a tool that we use in our class often! Each student can log into their Granite Google account and will have access to all of the assignments, links, and activities that are listed in this forum. We use Google Classroom to submit assignments, collaborate with classmates, and have interesting discussions. Students know that this is a positive place where we work together.
To log into Google Classroom, students will go to www.Google.com and enter their username and password. If anyone needs help finding how to log in, please let me know!
Here are sites we use often in our classroom. Your student should know how to log in, but please contact me if you'd like help accessing these sites:
Reading, Writing, and Spelling
http://www.google.com (log in using their district email address and password to utilize Google Documents, Slides, Presentations, Google Classroom, and so much more)
Typing:
Typing Club (this may change soon!)
More sites and links will be added soon!
Math Facts Practice
"Our favorite addition and subtraction videos" from We are Teachers
"Our favorite multiplication and division videos" from We are Teachers
Some of these websites offer paid versions, which I have strongly suggest avoiding unless a paid version would be ideal for your family. Please review the websites, choose the ones you like and feel would be most helpful, and help your child use it safely.
These websites have activities that cover addition, subtraction, multiplication and division:

For math enrichment at home, I strongly suggest students use i-Ready and ST Math (our math curriculum) through the Granite School District Portal (with directions up above). I can assign some effective tools online to build skills at home! Here are a few of my favorite additional websites that can help with math content and practice:
Science links (helpful for Science Fair projects):
Granite School District's site for the STEM fair (Science Fair)
National Geographic Habitats (and more using the search button)
Fossils (and dinosaurs)
