Online Resources

Epic

• You’ll receive an email to set up your account and request permission to join my ‘classroom’.  Your child can log on via web browser or the Epic app free to download from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.  The library has over 40,000 books, learning videos, and quizzes available! And I can assign books, or check their progress.
• From a web browser?
• www.getepic.com/students
• Log in with your class code zip4922
• Select their name, enter their pin/code
• From your phone or tablet?
• Install the Epic app and launch
• Select “Have an account? Log in”, then click “Students & Educators”
• Log in with your class code zip4922
• Select their name, enter their pin/code
• Epic has always offered a home connection, but it’s $7.99/month.  They are waiving that fee until the end of this school year to support home learning because of COVID-19.

Keyboarding

• You will receive an email with a note about your child’s secret code and other information

• You cannot use a phone or tablet for this, you need a keyboard.

• If you get lost, just bookmark https://program.kwtears.com/login to reach the student portal

• If asked the Educator PIN is C013C0

• PLEASE support their growth in typing.  I let them complete more than 1 lesson at a time so long as they do their best, “Once your tool becomes a toy, take a break”.  Otherwise 10 minutes is a good rule of thumb per day.

• Our students all have licenses, but Keyboarding without Tears is offering FREE licenses that expire July 31st, 2020 if you want to share with other children.   I have not gone through this, but the link to reach the request page is below

Prodigy 

https://play.prodigygame.com/

Helps students learn and practice their math curriculum

• I can send you your student's info for log-in!
• The game will begin below the level chosen,  becoming more challenging until it finds the best fit!
• Many of our students are emergent readers and may need your guidance. 
• I’m excited to hear how this goes so I can incorporate this as a Daily 3 choice during math!

Go Noodle

gonoodle.com

Always consider gonoodle.com! It is free (though you can upgrade). The kids know it and love it. It offers learning, movement, stretching, mindfulness, exercise, and fun! Please note that the mascots I know they love are NOT available unless you have an educator profile.

Cosmic Kids Yoga

Look up on youtube.com and feel free to subscribe. I used this to teach yoga after our morning recess every day. They have a lot to offer!
