Appy Friday

This app is free right now (I subscribe to “Apps Gone Free” and “Appsfire” to try many apps when they come on sale):

This looks like a great app for the early learners! It first requires the child to match letters in the alphabet, then put the letters in order, and then moves on to finding the missing letters. The activities can be done with upper or lowercase letters.

Visit to Michigan

I recently spent three days in Michigan touring schools that do inclusive education really well. Our group’s host was an organization called CLC. I went on the trip with 4 administrators. This trip was a blessing in many ways.
Watch this video from Zeeland Christian School, one of the schools we visited and the school where I did my special education placement (the teacher talking on the video was my supervising teacher):

I have felt inspired to try some of the things that I saw and reorganize and share!  The value of each child is valued here, regardless of his ability to complete the curriculum.

Useful app this week: Intro to Cursive. It was free one day on Apps Gone Free so I tried it with a third grader and definitely recommend it for extra cursive practice at home or at school.
