For some students, school doesn’t end when the bell rings. They can continue their learning online at home through educational websites.

Cedric Magee, Warren Central Junior High School Principal said these programs give them extra practice.

“MobyMax really helps the students. They do pretests and based on the test it determines their grade level,” he said.

Whatever level the test determines they are in, it will offer them practice to get better or catch up.

It mostly deals in English and math.

Magee said the students get on MobyMax everyday in the computer lab. He said Otha Belcher, the Principal at Vicksburg Junior High told him about MobyMax.

MobyMax offers help in K-8 curriculum, such as math, reading, language, literature skills, writing, vocabulary, state test preparation, placement testing, they have daily goals, and a parent portal so parents can see their child’s progress.

There are even tools to help students on tests such as short answer questions and worksheets.

There are over 5 million students registered with MobyMax and it was created 3 years ago.

Another website students can access is called Khan Academy.

The subjects involved with Khan Academy are math, science, economics and finance, arts and humanities, computing and test preparation.

Students can begin online activities from grades kindergarten all the way to 8th grade.

FunBrain is an online website where

students learn through games — Some are based on television shows or movies such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

The website is mainly focused on honing math and reading skills.

It’s My Life is a PBS website for children that teaches children life skills such as time management and how to handle bullies.

There are options for children to be able to print out worksheets, journal pages, discussions, and questions and word puzzles.

Study Island has content that is centered on the Mississippi curriculum frameworks and Common Core standards to prepare students for the MCT2.

They learn through the Common Core system.

They can learn Spanish through the website as well. They can read novels that are elementary school level.

If they need extra help becoming grade-level readers, the website offers a program called Reading Eggs that is a literacy-based program to boost confidence and help students become fluent readers.

Magee said the websites are free except MobyMax, which was purchased through the school.
