Knowledge: This application works to meet children where they are. The
students start from an easy level for their age and repeats activities until
students have mastered it. Each activity carries on no longer than five
minutes, so there is a lot of variety to keep students engaged. As students
pause or don’t seem to understand instruction, I can chirp in things that I
know they are familiar with such as “which one is blue?” or “is that blue?”
since I’m aware that these students are comfortable with their colors.
Planning Instruction:
The content is appropriate for this age group because students are
preparing for Kindergarten. It is also appropriate because these students are
Montessori children and comfortable with independent practices. This
application was developed with the common core standards in mind and they have
special program deals for teachers to use in the classroom. Many Preschool
teachers have shared their successful experiences using this application in the
classroom. You can see them here
