Student Resources
The Free Library of Philadelphia partners with free sites like Libby, Kanopy, and others, from which under your guidance you may choose books, audiobooks, movies to view on your mobile devices. You will need a library card. Please get your child a library card, too!
ABCYA - This has free games on a variety of topics. Unfortunately, there are ads.
ABC Mouse - Not free, but it provides a lot of practice with letters, sounds, literacy and math skills, etc.
Though there are many videos available for students to learn literacy skills, I am suggesting that you try a series of videos by Jack Hartmann on letter sounds and basic sight/high frequency words. Of course, you may find other sources that you or your child prefer. Make use of them.
Some of the Jack Hartmann songs we use in class are: See It Say It Sign It, Make a Rhyme Make a Move, Vowel Sound Samba, Do the Wordstretch, Subitizing, Sight Words 1, 2, etc.
Didax.com - Resources: Virtual Manipulatives - Activities for a variety of math concepts, and for different grade levels. There are directions on how to use each virtual manipulatives tool. Currently, for our class, the Pattern Blocks tool can help students create patterns and see how to combine shapes i.e., to form larger shapes from smaller ones. (Though, I have had difficulty with rotating the shapes to fit.) There is a virtual geoboard from which shapes can be created. Other tools will be applicable to later lessons. We are, however, using our number grid for counting, skip counting, counting back and forward, recognizing decades, etc. You can also practice these skills on their virtual grid.
