Happy September, readers!
Today is the first day of school here in Oregon, and we’re excited to be kicking off the year with you!
Last month we gave you a teaser of Kidspiration Maps–but there’s so much more to see! Check out just a few of the colorful activities that make up our newest learning tool:
-
- “All About Me” Writing Activity
-
- “Multiplication Sentences” Math Activity
-
- “Explorers” Social Studies Activity
Want to read more about Kidspiration Maps? Take a look at the reviews posted by Jamie Martin of the Kildonan School as well as Brian Meersma of the Assistive Technology Blog. . .then head to the App Store and get your own copy!
September is about more than Kidspiration Maps, though. We recognize that the beginning of school is an exciting time, filled with possibilities and new students to guide! In the school year to come you’ll see our continuing commitment to producing tools that make instruction easier for teachers–and learning more engaging for students! Some things to look forward to include:
*COMMON CORE HELP: Twenty-two states (including our Washingtonian neighbors to the north) are adopting the Common Core State Standards this year, and we’re on board too! Inspiration’s visual learning tools and graphic organizers give students (and teachers) new, engaging ways to tackle the standards.
*INSPIRATION MAPS UPDATE: Look for some great changes coming to our original iPad app! You asked and we listened in order to make the ultimate graphic organizing app even more user friendly.
*CONTESTS AND PRIZES: We want you to “Inspire Us” here at Inspiration! Submit a student diagram created with any of our products and you could win either a Kidspiration or Inspiration prize pack!
Don’t let us keep you from icebreakers and name tags any longer, though–have a great September!
