Freckle is Here!
We are now using a computer program in the classroom called Freckle. With Freckle, your child has been able to practice Math, ELA, Social Studies and Science at his or her own ability level!
You and your child can access the program in a couple ways:
1. Access the program online at freckle.com using Google Chrome as your browser,
selecting “Student sign in” at the top of the page.
2. Access the program on an iPad with the free app: freckle.com/app
Your child will login using their first and last name as well as their class code (provided by teacher).
Once they have logged in, it is important that this practice is done independently, without any
help at home. If they are having difficulty with a concept, and the video tutorials on the site do
not help, your child may either stop or go on to another section. We want the information that I
gather from Freckle to be a true picture of your child’s Math, ELA, Social Studies and Science
skills.
Thank you for supporting your child’s education at home.
