We have been using another great web-site for word work in class. The web-site Turtle Diary is a great site to practice word families for upcoming spelling tests and sight word practice too. It also has math learning games that are great for practicing math skills at home. Here is the link: https://www.turtlediary.com. Also, https://www.roomrecess.com is another web-site we have been using in class that is good for practicing reading, word and math skills.
