Your child can access Khan Academy by logging in with their district Google account. Students spent time last week learning how to navigate Khan Academy and how to get the most out of it. All students are assigned a coach (which is me) and I can recommend lessons and skills to students. For 5th grade, Math is the only subject that has both videos and practice. Students can choose a recommended skill or any skill they'd like to practice and they can watch videos and complete practice problems. Students who would like to review 4th grade skills can move down into 4th grade and students who wish to challenge themselves may move ahead to new 6th grade skills. The best part about this is students have access to Khan Academy for free!!
Parents are always asking what can they do to help their children at home. Here is a great FREE resource that provides video explanations and additional practice. Students can spend 20 minutes a night brushing up on previous math skills or working on current math skills. If parents have a gmail account, they can log and refresh their 5th grade math skills or explore a topic they'd like to know more about.
I plan to provide you all with a video of Khan Academy. Check back later this week to view it!! If you and your child explore Khan Academy, please provide me with your feedback on how useful you feel it is.
Mrs. Finnerty
