First grade students are enjoying BrainPOP Jr. thanks to the very generous donation from a grandparent of a student in our class. BrainPOP Jr. uses brief animated videos to introduce students to various curricular content. After watching the videos, whether working as a group or individually, students have the opportunity to take a quiz, play relating games, read jokes or comics, review vocabulary, and complete activities.
