Lexia Core 5
- Lexia Core 5 is an app that I allow students to use to practice literacy skills. It provides them with six areas of reading focusing on phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, structural analysis, automaticity, and comprehension. Students complete mini lessons depending on their placement test to help improve levels. Once they master a skill they are able to play games to earn badges.

Khan Academy

- Khan Academy is an app I use with students when going over a lesson or assign work for Google Classroom. What I like about this app is students can access this website when they misunderstand something. It does a great job of providing notes for students, showing a video with examples, and giving practice problems for students to complete.

· Locate on a map physical feature that impacted the exploration and settlement of the Americas, including ocean currents, prevailing winds, large forests, major rivers, and significant mountain ranges.
Studies Weekly
https://app.studiesweekly.com/online/publications/64334
- Studies Weekly is an app we use for Science and Social Studies. What I like about this app is it provide students with videos, cross word puzzles, and interactive games for students to complete showcasing their learning.
· Overall if I had to choose an app it would be Studies Weekly because it gives students the opportunity to be in control of their learning. Being a 5th grade teacher, I enjoy seeing when students gain a since of independence. This app is curriculum and standard base where students learn about Social Studies in an interactive way instead of reading about it in a book.

ReplyDeleteHello Whitney,
ReplyDeleteI'm a 5th grader teacher too and I use Weekly Studies for Social Studies. I align the lessons with our reading skill of the week. I also, use Weekly Studies in my Reading/Social Studies center during my reading block. Often, our reading block includes library, art, and music throughout the week. Therefore, it allows me to still provide social studies lessons for students. Our district has it on its network so students can just click the app and start working. Also, student can use other online resources like Google or Youtube to farther their research on the lesson and standard of the week.
