Some of the most popular content includes digital explorations with Lewis and Clark, interactive math games from Arcademics, daily fix-it grammar activities and ready-to-use background builders on topics such as Veterans Day and United States history.
“Discovery Education is proud to serve the educators of New Hampshire and we are encouraged by how quickly our resources have been embraced by the teachers across the state,” said Dr. Karen Beerer, Discovery Education’s Senior Vice President of Teaching and Learning. “The innovative learning experiences New Hampshire’s teachers are creating are playing a critical role in preparing students for success beyond graduation, and we look forward to continuing this powerful partnership.”
