Some Recommended Apps to Download!

Students AND Parents,

Do you have a smart phone? Tablet? Ipad? Anything capable of downloading apps? Here are few I recommed adding to your device. 

1. Paper by FiftyThree 
Price: Free with optional in-app purchases Download: Paper by FiftyThree for iPad For kids with an artistic bent, Paper by FiftyThree is definitely worth a look. It's a simple drawing app that starts you with a blank sheet of digital paper on your iPad. Your imagination's the limit with this no-frills app — your kids will find themselves sketching, drawing, and taking notes to their heart's content. And if ever they feel like expanding their horizons, you can always choose to buy them new tools in-app.

2. Dictionary.com 
Price: Free for basic, $2.99 for ad-free, $4.99 for ad-free HD 
Download: Dictionary.com for iPhone and iPod touch, iPad 
This app, derived from the website of the same name, gives students access to almost 1 million word definitions and 90,000 synonyms and antonyms in the app's thesaurus section. The app also gives the origin and history of words, as well as example sentences so kids can see how unfamiliar words are used. There's also a Word of the Day feature, which is just what it sounds like — one random new word pops up in the app each day. With any luck, your student will be speaking like a broadcaster by the time he or she is old enough to drive.

3. Achieve (FREE)
