CodeHS - Great Site for High School Students

They have been having fun playing with the Sphero and the Dash and Dot , but they are a little old for this so to say. Through my research, I came across a site called CodeHS . THIS IS AMAZING:)!!!

Starfall Website......

I am not sure if I have shared this website with you, but our Kindergarteners are ROCKING IT OUT! The site is Starfall and it has SO much great content on here. Below is a list of content for the little ones: The kiddos today were working on the Learn to Read section. They had to listen to words, add beginning and ending sounds, and read stories and click and find things as they went. They were TOTALLY engaged! They even had a checklist to do once sections were completed to track their progress. A SUPER fun one for the kiddos is preK-1st grade I would say FOR SURE:)! Bad news - NO iPad as it's flash based:( - but still PLEASE CHECK IT OUT Happy Monday and night, Mrs. I:)
