Common Core State Standards
|
NEW: Each Grade Level is full of resources for every individual standard. Students can take control of their own learning by clicking on the page with the standard number, and choosing their own resource to practice that skill. Click on your Grade Level to find English Language Arts Standard Resources and learning tools. UPDATED: Also, check out our Common Core Math Standards. It's hard to find sites that have math standards examples that follow the specific criteria, but they're here. Click on your Grade Level to find Math Standard Resources and learning tools.

Every month we are going to feature a different, and hopefully FREE, iPad/iPod/iPhone educational application. Visit our ever-changing app page. (www.internet4classrooms.com/links_grades_kindergarten_12/apps_web2_tools.htm)
The App of the Month for August is Super Stretch Yoga HD. This is a fun and educational yoga app created for kids but can be used for all ages and skill levels. Using animated flashcards and music, kids can learn 12 yoga poses and breathing exercises that are beneficial to their health and fitness! Compatible with iPad. Requires iOS 3.2 or later. |
