Students Learning with Technology

Happy Holidays!

I hope that each of you will have a wonderful and relaxing holiday season with family and friends. It's hard to believe that the year is almost over!

With all of the events you have planned, I hope that you will find time to read, play and share fun activities with your children. Below is a list of great apps for young children. Many of these are free! Also, please keep in mind that there are many free books that can be downloaded from Kindle and other online bookstores.

* Little Speller Sight Words
* Express Spelling
* Sight Words 2
* I am Sam
* Math Bingo
* Grade 1 Math
* Candy Count
* ABC Alphabet Photo Touch

Summer Resources

So often the summer is a fun and relaxing time of the year. We hope that will be the case for you this summer as well. However, the summer may also be a time where some regression occurs. To help offset that, we at AEEC have developed a summer resource CD for all students. You will find this CD in your child's Friday folder on May 17th! Feel free to use these games and activities as tools to educate your child throughout the summer in a fun and engaging manner.

Surveys are Coming Soon!

Parent surveys will be sent home soon. When you receive yours, please complete it and return it to school as soon as possible. The information you include on your survey will aide us in making AEEC a better place for students, parents, and all stakeholders. I look forward to hearing from you!

Don't Forget...

We are having our second school-wide parent information session on February 12th from 8:30-9:30 at AEEC! During this parent information meeting, valuable information will be shared about math and reading.  In order to attend, parents should return registration forms to the school by Friday, February 8th. This is a free event.
