Students have daily access to the following site. We have NOT used this in the classroom yet this year, but we encourage you to incorporate this into your child's daily routines as you see fit.
We currently have www.spellingcity.com/cswigert set up with practice words and trick words from each of our Fundations Units. Students can play games to practice spelling and reading these words.
This week, you will find several quick review videos that you can work through as you choose. These videos each review a key piece of learning from our 1st grade Fundations curriculum. You've learned so much this year and we couldn't be more proud of you and all your hard work! Keep practicing and revisiting these review clips over the summer too.
