Welcome to our Fundations FUN page! 
This will be a page that you can find a lot of different information about Fundation, including homework, set up, new rules, videos, and fun links.
When we work on Fundations – this is the set up that we usually use for the alphabet (because F, L , S, and Z can be bonus letters**)
We use these lines to write, to remind us to take our time and use great handwriting.
Below are the homework inserts that are to go into your Fundations Homework books – some of them have EXTRA activities that you can do at home! Please just click on the link to take a look! You can print if you need to!
