One of the
projects of the Migrant Education Program, BSD, is to serve not only the
students enrolled in the district, but also to start teaching the Pre-K age
students that do not have access to a Pre-K program, mainly because of
financial problems. Last year I had the opportunity to teach some classes to
kids ages 4 and 5. I focused on teaching basic skills, for example holding the
pencil and tracing lines, holding scissors and cutting lines, learning letter
names (capital and lower case), low numbers, and basic colors. The Apps I found
today could be used in my practice as I continue working with these children. This
is what I found:
App: 123s, ABCs, Handwriting Fun Set 1
(version 5)

Requires
180KB
Grades:
Pre-K through 1st Grade
This
is a very cool tool to teach numbers, letters, and shapes. I could use the App
to teach letter names, to practice tracing capital letters, lowercase letters,
numbers, and shapes. The practice could be by category or any combination of
the different categories. It could be in order (alphabet and numbers) or in
random sequence.
App: Kids Numbers and Math Lite (version
1.17)
More
info: Intellijoy
Requires
7.82 MB
Grades:
Pre-K through 2nd Grade
This is a very
cool tool to teach basic math. I could use the App to teach numbers and
practice counting; to compare largest and smallest numbers; to practice basic addition
and subtraction. This App also gives you and advanced level for practicing
addition and subtraction. On the other hand, it also gives you a basic number
game of finding matches. In a Pre-K class this could be a little bit advanced,
but numbers from 1 to 20 could be practiced here.
