New launches, math sneak peek, and online school
|
This is a jam-packed update, if you're a skim-reader like me, check out the bold sections to see if anything catches your eye! Two new launches (and one more coming)1. Alaska went live a few weeks back and we didn't even announce it! This beauty is making waves and we can't wait to see what you think of it. 2. Arizona went live today . . . our third unit in our Fifty States series and the first of our Southwest region! We have color-coded our units based on region so you'll notice a new color scheme for each one so far and then the patterns will start to form.
3. Does anyone remember the Ready to Read practice pack cards? We redid them as booklets and tripled the the content, making them kind of like daily seatwork for younger students with phonics, spelling, handwriting, and reading practice each day (plus coloring and all the things you know and love). These can be used with the Ready to Read program or even independently and will be available in print and digital, coming next week! They will be renamed as: Phonics Skill Builders, kind of like our new math Skill Builders. Coming soon! A full video explanation of Modular MathIf you've been watching our updates, you'll know that we are developing a complete K-9 math curriculum that can be broken up into individual units and steps . . . allowing you (for the first time ever) to build your own math curriculum that is custom-tailored to your student's unique strengths and weaknesses. Use it for mastery, to fill in the gaps, to get ahead, to reinforce, or as a complete math curriculum, the options are endless!
Online Academy registration openOur Online Academy is starting next Thursday and we can't wait to see what you think of it! Remember, you can subscribe at anytime and cancel at anytime—putting the schedule in your court. If you are needing some extra support, wanting to build community and connections for your kids, or are just needing some motivation to drive your year . . . come do school with us! I will be teaching the classes live from my studio and can't wait to take to the stars in September with hundreds of students of all ages (open for K-12). See you there!
I am going live today at 2pm EST to share some of these updates, some sneak peeks, and talk about everything that has been going on behind the scenes here at Gather 'Round. Hope to see you there! |
