Resources
On this part of my website I will be continuously be putting helpful resources for parents and students. You can find websites for ideas you can use to work with your child. There are also websites the children can use themselves (if it;s okay with you of course!) that are both fun and educational. And also, if you aren't quite finding what you are looking for here, just contact me with what you are looking for and I'd be glad to help!

Khan Academy
We will often use the Khan Academy website and app on our iPads during math time. There are videos and practice activities for math, as well as numerous other subjects. The subjects are organized by grade level, so you can look at math concepts from 5th grade, as well as years before or after. It is a great additional resource for exploration!
