After school today teachers from across our district went to a session to learn about an online Math resource called DreamBox.
We were impressed by some of the things it can do for the children. We were even challenged a little by some of the tasks.
This program uses technology to figure out a child's level and then presents tasks meant for exactly that level. Each child moves along at his or her own pace.
We have agreed to pilot this program for 90 days.
Once I have the class logged in, and the children have learned how to use the program, I will be sending home information about how you can participate at home. Parents can sign up for a free two weeks. After that, there will be a charge. I'm hoping it will be minimal because I'm sure most of you would like to see exactly what you child can do.
Of course you will always be welcome to come in and watch what your child is doing with this or any other activity. With the number of classes wanting to participate, our schedule will probably have to change somewhat to give all of us the time we want.
