Ten apps for school Roxie This is a maze where you drive a car through a map. There are times you will walk, go on a boat and even fly a plane. There are many things to find throughout the maze and you have to figure out how to get to the different things. I think of this as a fun app that is building critical thinking skills. pattern Sets Aligned with Common Core sets of chips are displayed in various patterns. With a quick visual, one builds their recognition of the amount by quickly counting or recognizing the configuration. Changes can be made for amounts, if you want two color chips or one color and length of time the chips are shown. Math practice during center time or when work is done. Number Sequencing Montessori app where you practice the number before, after or in between in three levels that go all the way to 100. Math practice during center time or when work is done. Pic Collage I photo collage creator with stickers, text ability, and changeable backgrounds. My students are using it for their interviews of their classmates. They are taking pictures of the student being interviewed and then they use those pictures to create a fun collage about the student. Teach Me Kindergarten Keeps track of progress of Dolch Words, addition/subtraction, and spelling. Can have many individual players (I have my 21 students in and there is still room for more). As they progress they gain coins where they can shop for stickers for different scenery or buy fish for an aquarium. Later they can buy food for their fish. I like this as an added assessment. Math BingoI I like both Math Bingo and Word Bingo. In math you can choose the operation and the level. You answer the equation by choosing the correct number on the bingo board. You gather bingo bugs and can play with them later. In Word Bingo you are finding the word that is said. Again you gather bugs and can play a game with them, too. Good math practice or word recognition practice. Top It A math game where two can play. You deal out two cards each, add them, then choose which person has the greater number. I like that two students can work together. Writing Pad It's like having an endless pad of paper with various colors of pencils to write with. There are different types of paper including a grid. It also has a wrist guard to help a child who needs to rest their wrist while writing. A fun way to practice handwriting skills. Monkey math School Various types of math problems including finding numbers, finding the greatest number, finding the number that comes next in a sequence, what comes next in a pattern, writing numbers in the sand, addition,etc. Prizes are awarded to be put in your aquarium. I like that this has a bit of everything. Math practice during center time or when work is done. Futaba For free you can have a two player game. It costs $2.99 for a four player game. A picture shows up in the middle of the game board. You have four word cards. Each player tries to out beat the other by finding the word that goes with the picture. I like this for Daily 5 where two students can work on word recognition.

5 apps for personal use CloudOn I like this because I do not have Microsoft Word. I can make documents in Word with this and I can edit documents in Word with this. Bible This is my bible app. I use it at church to keep notes of the sermon. I highlight bible verses I want to use with my students. VoiceThread I used this with last year's class to make our own version of Dot by Patricia Intriago. This is a book about opposites with dots. The students thought up opposites, painted their dot illustrations and then read their parts. Seven Little Words I like word games. This one gives you a definition for 7 words. The words are in parts below the list of definitions. You have to put the words together. I think it helps with vocabulary. For me it is relaxing. Photoshop Another neat creative photo app. You can crop, frame and change coloring and styles. I like the creativity. I will make pictures of my family.
