Your child will have access to spelling city to work on their words after school. Mathletics will also be available to all children to work on at home at their own pace.
Seesaw :
In class your child will be creating an electronic portfolio of their work for this year. You will soon receive a QR code that will allow you to view what your child is doing in class and have access to their folder of work. Feel free to write comments to your child letting them know how they are going with their work and what you are impressed with. You may also leave a voice message on their work for them to listen to later - your child will be able to help with this if you get stuck.
