2. Review reading the unit 8 words 2-3x a week (posted from last week) and complete these word hunt activities (if they don't remember the difference between blends and digraphs, remind them that digraphs are the ones we do for drill sounds: wh, ch, sh, th, ck )

Word Hunt 

3. Check out one of the other resources I recommended at the bottom of this page! I highly recommned downloading e-books on Epic! 

Weeks of  3/16/2020  and  3/23/2020
Follow these guidelines to keep up with our current Fundations lessons. I will update as needed. Email me if you have any questions!  

I recommend doing the drill sounds, flashcards, and writing the words 
2-3x a week (that is how many times I would typically see them in school) 

1. Have students listen and repeat the sounds we have worked on this year: 
Drill Sounds Warm Up 
(the voicethread app is free if it asks you to open it through that) 

2. Read the parent support page and have your child complete these activities for our current words:
/documents/2020/3/Fundations%20Unit%208%20Support.pdf
 
3. Here are the flashcards to review our current words. If you can't print them, have your child copy them onto homemade flashcards.
Practice by: 
 - Having the child read the word
-Reading the word to them (without showing it to them) and having them write the word  

Unit 8 Words 

Fundations Writing Paper 
If you do not want to print these pages, you can upload this pdf on the free app "scribble together whiteboard" and have your child write directly on an ipad, tablet, or phone. 
 
Additional materials for fundations practice at home (these are just extra worksheets, do not feel as if you need to print all of them):
Unit 7 Review Sheets

Week of 3/23/2020
I have created a Google Classroom for students in grades 5-7. A letter was sent home with the code. I will be posting some reading passages and comprehension questions for them to complete on Newsela once a week. I posted the instructions about making an account in Google Classroom. I will also post additional resources for them over the course of the next couple of weeks. If you have any questions, feel free to email me!
