Dreambox math

In first grade we reading, writing, and math using the workshop model where the teacher teaches a mini-lesson to the whole class, then students go on to do independent practice while the teacher works with individuals or small groups tailored to their individual needs. In math the independent portion of the lesson takes place in stations where the students rotate between working with a partner on a game, working with the teacher, and working on technology. 

Students are now familiar with their Dreambox math accounts (used at our tech station) and may use these at home as well as at school! The kids have learned their usernames and passwords to login and can use these at home too by clicking on the Dreambox link at the right side of this blog (under "student links" and logging in. As the year goes on students will learn to use all of the links under "student links independently!" We are working on learning them one at a time.
