Deerwood Academy Teacher Resources

Please share with your students that AR testing is available while at home! If you have students that you believe should receive a shout out, please email me! I will also be pulling reports and issuing a few virtual rewards! :)

Check out our school wide Beanstack Dashboard! Right now 3rd grade is leading with 41,164 minutes logged! We're almost at our school-wide goal of 683,000 minutes! Please keep reading and encouraging students to log their minutes! Support staff, parents and admin can log their minutes and attribute them to Deerwood. Click the link below to sign up!

Check out our MYON school-wide dashboard below! 4th grade is currently leading with 2,338 books completed! 3rd Grade is right on their heels with 2,230! We LOVE that every grade level is engaged and reading! Keep up the good work and keep logging Beanstack Mins!

In an effort to support the standards that you are currently covering with your students, I am creating and uploading various MyON Reader Grade Level Projects to the MYON Community Cloud. In order to access them, teachers will need to FIRST download the projects from the MyOn Community Cloud, THEN assign the projects to students. Click the link or view the video below for directions on downloading and assigning the projects to your class.

Please check back periodically as I will be constantly adding content for grade levels. I will also email your grade level to let you know when projects are uploaded to this space. (Media Services has already created Myon Activities for PreK and Kindergarten.)
