Learning is not confined to a classroom. I invite you to work with me as a team to support your child’s learning while at home. The resources on this page are designed to support you and your child in the important learning and work you do at home. If you have any questions about any of these resources, or would like to request additional support and/or resources, please contact me via email or phone. I look forward to working with you!

Word Work Resources
Making Words – directions and blank response sheet
This activity is sent home approximately every two weeks, and is designed to reinforce and strengthen the word study and spelling skills the students are working on at school. Completed assignments are due back one week after they are sent home.
Reading Resources
“When You’re Done, You’ve Just Begun!” (print resource)
Reading involves understanding what we read (comprehension), being able to read the words correctly (accuracy), and being able to reading smoothly and with expression (fluency). One of the best ways we can support children in strengthening their comprehension is to have conversations with them about what they are reading. This resource has a list of different questions that can get the comprehension conversation started!
Raz-Kids (website)
Teacher Username: kmonahan7
Picture Password: Turtle
This online resource gives our students access to hundreds of eBooks. Students can read, listen to, and even self-record reading these books. The best part? I am able to design a customized library for each child, giving each child access to a library of books that are all a “good fit” for him or her! Students can check their comprehension by taking quizzes for each book read. Each activity earns stars, which students can use to decorate their avatar robot and rocket ship.
Math Resources
IXL Math (website)
IXL is a comprehensive math review site with an unlimited number of practice questions in hundreds of skills—all of which are aligned to you state standards. One of the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from home, so have a chance to see your child’s progress and support them in their math development!!
