This year the county has supplied us with several different websites that students can go to from home to enhance their learning.
1.Compass Odyssey:
https://odyssey.duvalschools.org/childu/index.html?SSL=1
This is a wonderful web based learning program that motivates today’s students to engage, think & learn. The lessons are creative and will keep students interested and receptive to learning. The best part about this program is that teachers can assign individual lessons depending on what each student needs. After a student finishes a lesson, the teacher can view the work that they have done. The students also have immediate access to the progress report that is located in the "backpack" icon. Log-in and Passwords are the same ones they use to log in to the school computers and can be found in their planners.
2. Destination Sucess:
https://success.duvalschools.org/
Destination Success contains and entire collection of software for Reading and Math. To access the collection, once logged in, you have to click the Explorer link in the upper left corner of the screen. That will open a screen you can scroll down with different software selections. The software range from Kindergarten to the 12th grade. Therefore, an explore map is needed to find the content you want your child to work on. Teachers can also assign different assignments to the students based on individual needs.Log-in and Passwords are the same ones they use to log in to the school computers and can be found in their planners.
3. FCAT explorer
http://www.fcatexplorer.com/
Practice Makes Progress! That’s why the Florida Department of Education built FCAT Explorer—to provide practice for helping your child make real progress on the skills needed in the classroom, on the FCAT, and in life.
FUN, EFFECTIVE, AND FREE: FCAT Explorer is a set of free, Web-based practice programs. The content is built from the Sunshine State Standards that are tested on the FCAT. Kids can practice by themselves because the programs give them corrective feedback and learning guidance. Log-in and Password located in the planner.
Behavior Buck Challenge:
Here is your chance to give your teacher some feedback about these websites. Try each one out this week. Then come back and leave a comment. List the website in order of most favorite to least favorite (1 being your most favorite and 3 being your least favorite). Tell what skill you worked on at each site and what you liked and didn't like about it .
For Example:
1. FCAT Explorer: I worked on comparing and contrasting. I liked that it felt like I was playing a video game while I was learning. I didn't like that it took a long time to load in between each game.
You will earn 30 behavior bucks for doing this challenge. Happy Learning! I can't wait to hear back about what you think!

1. Liked FCAT Explorer the best because it explained why an answer was wrong. But I didn't like that it had me stop and think when I wanted to read more.
2. Next favorite was Compass Odyssey because I liked how it helped me when I needed help. I didn't like that one of the questions was confusing.
3. Destination Success was my least favorite because I liked that it told me how to find the main idea. I didn't like that it took sooooooooo long to complete.
