Homework
Frequency: includedFeedback: includedDetails: After each recorded lesson, students will record themselves finger spelling as they read and write 5 CVC words. This should take 5-10 minutes each time after the video time. I will respond to each video with praise and specific feedback! Students will also do a scavenger hunt to choose objects from their homes and practice finger spelling those sounds. Each week, they will search for 3 items that have the focus letter sound of the week in it.
Paper & pencil or dry-erase board & marker (anything to write with will work!)
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
