This is the modified curriculum that we use in our classroom that is aligned to the Louisiana State Extended Standards. Each student has a login (their first and last name) and a password (the first letter of their first and last name followed by 2019, for example Jennifer Crockett – jc2019). When you click on the link from this page, the website login page will come up and you will see your student’s initials and a character icon. Click on the picture for your child and enter the password. They have unlimited login capability and each lesson can be done an unlimited number of times. The units are month long and will change automatically with the new unit. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED HELP LOGGING IN!
