Gynzy is an interactive tool that you can use in the classroom. It has a whiteboard feature that you can use to teach new concepts to the entire class. It also have tools such as a ruler, fraction bars, counters and dice to help you make your lesson more interactive. You can also choose from many of their premade lessons. These lessons can be searched by topic, grade level or standard. The slides are fun and interactive for students to use. 

You can also use their tools to create your own word list to work with individual groups. The sight word flash cards are helpful as a warm up tool. You can edit the word list to have students practice specific words that they need to work on. For math I really like the morning meeting feature, it contains an interactive calendar, weather station and number builder. I like the number builder because you can build the numbers using 10 sticks and cubes. 

There are also a lot of fun games to play as review with the students. I like the rhyming game, it will read the word to the students and then they just have to decide which two words rhyme. There is also handwriting paper where you can demonstrate how to make the letters in the proper way. There are also sequencing activities you can do with all age students. For younger students there are pictures that the students need to sequence and put in order. There are also games to support phonics based on the skills you are working on.
