Online Help for Reading and Math

We used the following website in class yesterday as a tool to learn more about long division: http://learnalberta.ca/content/me5l/html/math5.html?goLesson=9&launch=true

The students now have their own login names and passwords for the following reading website which will allow them to practice reading skills and strategies at their own pace. This website is http://www.learningtoday.com/corporate/login.asp

Another online tool for the students to use is First in Math. Each child's login name and password has been taped into their homework folder for use at home and school. Go here to access this site: http://www.firstinmath.com/
