Logging into the Chromebook:
If this is your first time:
1. For this you will need your child's student number (can find in Skyward under your child's profile in their personal information or email me!) and their eight digit birth date followed by an exclamation point, you can log in to the computer.
For example if your child's student number is 0632188 and their birthday is May 5, 2010 their email address would be [email protected] (no beginning zero as in their student number) and their password would be 05052010!.
2. It will then prompt you to create a password. I would highly suggest using the password 12345678 for your first grade students. It is easy enough to remember and not too complicated when they are typing (no capitals, letters all over the keyboard or special characters).
3. Click "Confirm".
4. It should prompt you to save their username and password and again, being that they are in first grade, I would save it on their chromebook so it is not too challenging to log in.
Previously logged in to the Chromebook:
1. Enter their email address using their student number without the beginning zero and the password you previously selected. If you have forgotten their password, email me and I will work to set up a new password for them on my end.
2. It should prompt you to save their username and password and again, being that they are in first grade, I would save it on their chromebook so it is not too challenging to log in.
Logging into Clever for the first time:
1. Open Google Chrome and it should land on a home screen for First Grade. On that homescreen, you will see a large blue "C" icon with the description "Clever" underneath. Clever is like the home base for the three platforms we will be using iReady (reading and math), Wonders (reading and writing) and SeeSaw (our class home page where you can find assignments and class instructional videos).
2. To enter, you will need to type their student number as the username/student number and their password should be their eight digit birthdate. For instance if their birthdate is May 5, 2010, their password would be 05052010.
3. Click "Log In"
4. It should give you an option to save this for the future and I definitely would so all they have to do is "click on the Blue C" and the log in button.
*This will take practice and reminders. When we are in class together, I am often still helping students log in the whole month of September and then they generally can get to places without any help.
Logging into Clever from a device other than the school district Chromebook:

Fry Sight Words
If you would like to start practicing more sight words with your student, Fry sight words align really well with our reading curriculum. The "First 100" Fry sight words are meant for kindergarten through first grade. The "Second 100" sight words encompass second through third grade. I would suggest starting with the "First 100" and then once your child has mastered those, moving on to the "Second 100".
