Hello Parents & Guardians,
Most of the programs will be using will be in your child's "Clever" app on their ipad. "RazKids" is another app we will be using that is not within the "Clever" app. Daily assignments will be on weekly schedule and you can post finished work to SeeSaw!
Link to Autofill your child’s username and password on their device (for CLEVER app) so they DON’T have to type it in every time they use the app:
SeeSaw will be a main platform of assignments and turning in work.
- Click on the CLEVER app
- Click the blue login bar or use the camera for QR code
- When prompted for the school name, type: Hill Creek (they programed it from where I am, not your home school)
- When prompted for the Username, type : (whatever your child’s Student ID # is) It is a 5 digit number.
- When prompted for the Password, type : (whatever your child’s password that came with their iPad is) It usually starts with the first 3 letters of the last name.
- Find the icon that says “SeeSaw”. Click on the Activities tab. All assignments will have directions.
Raz-Kids app is on your child’s iPad. It has an orange background with a robot. The students do not have this as an assignment this week, but their names and levels have been entered. The very first time they login, it will ask for a “Teacher Password”. Please type in: lfee48 (the first character is a lowercase L). You will only have to do this step the first time you log in.
- Once teacher info has been entered, it will bring you to a screen of student names. Tap on your name.
- It will always ask you for a password. Your child’s password is the 5 digit Student ID number that the district gave you. It is also on the paper that came with your child’s iPad. It is also your child’s lunch # (if they know it.) This is a great number to have your child begin to memorize. They will use it through the 8th grade!
- Once in, you will see a menu of books. Each book will have 3 icons (headphones, book, question mark). (Some lower levels do not have the question mark.)
- I will be showing the kids… but I always ask kids to Listen to the story (headphones icon) twice.
- Then read the book (book icon) twice. The 2nd time you read, you can tap the microphone in the top right and record your voice. The computer sends the recording only to my computer. This would be great for me to gauge the progress of their fluency in reading.
- Next take the quiz (question mark icon). Most of the levels will read the question and all of the answer choices if you tap on the speaker icon next to each one. Tap your answer and slide to next question. It will immediately tell the score when you are finished.
- All tasks are recorded on my computer. I will be able to see if each student listened, read, and took the quiz…and how many times!!
- When the student has listened, read, and taken the quiz for all of the books on the screen, it will automatically load the next level of books to begin!
WONDERS app
- Where is WONDERS?
- It is in the Clever app.
- Click on the Red “McGraw Hill” icon.
- Click the red Wonders book.
- You should see your name at the bottom with a squirrel in the center.
(This is the landing page.)
- Once we click on the “To Do” – what do we do?
- Click on one of the ‘To Do’ jobs : A – Weekly Opener 1.1
- On the right hand side, there should be a box with the activity inside. (The picture may look the same as some of the others, but the activities inside will all be different.) Click on that box.
- The activity should open.
- Complete the activity and then click the blue “Submit” button.
- A green check mark should appear next to the completed activity. (This will let my computer know what day and what activity was completed. (Yes, I am checking!)
- Do we have to write a Note to the Teacher?
- No, not unless you want to try it. If an activity asks you a question, just use your brain to think about the answer.
- What happens when they all have a green checkmark?
- When all of the activities have been completed, they will stay on until the due date. If you are finished before the due date, feel free to practice them again.
- When the new week begins, a new set of “To Do’s” will show up in your clipboard.
