From Our Community

"The transferability of Elementari is evident when you start to use it. I’ve had students tell me they can put their notes. I’ve seen where this is used for ESOL students and with SEL. Students can record their original pieces to be used in their projects...I have students that use Elementari to unleash their creative sides. It doesn't have to be used only for classroom purposes; I have students who now are writing and creating just for fun."
