Welcome to Mrs.Edwardson's Second and Third Grade Website!
Mrs. Edwardson | aedwardson@sau103.org | Ext. 115 |
It's hard to believe that it's already May! Keep an eye on folders to see notes about upcoming events as we zoom through the end of the year!!
We were very happy to have Ms. Breanna Genest here every day as our student teacher. She is finishing up her college career, and had many great things to share with our class!
If you check out the tab at the top that says Newsletters, you can see the color picture collage of our class each week, and our newsletter (the newsletter comes home in their folders on Fridays as well).
April 29-May 3, 2024
We were sad to have our last day with Ms. Genest on Thursday. She was a super student teacher, and added so much to our class. We look forward to hearing about where she finds her own classroom!
Our Google Classroom will keep building as a great resource for your children as the year goes along. They will be able to see schedules, tasks, and other activities.
Many of the programs we use are listed below. If you have trouble accessing them at home, please let me know.
Greg Tang Math
There is a great website that has math skills that help students (and adults) think differently about math. All the activities are free, and we use them to practice skills in math. I've included the link to the Greg Tang math page here. If you click on Student Activities, there are great games to play to practice many skills. Many of the games are fun for adults too-I like playing Kakooma and NumTanga!
Scholastic News
Each month we receive the Scholastic News magazine. The magazines are always relevant to current topics and written at grade level. Students can also access the magazines online. Click here to get to the homepage of Scholastic News. Choose your grade, click student, and log in. The password is edwardson. Once they're in, they can listen to stories, watch videos and play games about the topics from that month.
Raz kids reading and science
In our classroom, we use RAZ kids and RAZ science. Razkids lets the students choose books to read, listen to, and asks comprehension questions about the books they read. Raz science lets me assign different science topics, and they can explore videos, books, jobs, and more about each science topic. The login to Raz is here. If they type jennieblake (no spaces) for the teacher name, they can access their books for reading. If they type aedwardson0 (that's a zero), they can access their science content.
IXL
Each student has a different set of skills to practice, and their recommended skills keep changing as they grow and develop. Click here to get to the login. Everyone is our class has their first initial, then last name as their login. They know their passwords too. They can go into the diagnostics tab to practice a variety of skills, or go to recommendations to practice one type of skill.
