Reading25 min
Reread: A Cat and a Dog
- Reread “A Cat and a Dog”. The second time is smoother and quicker: that is fluency growing.
- Find this week's sight words, “after” and “again”, in the book or on their cards.
- Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.
- A Cat and a Dog, to read on screenon peabody.kidspeabody.kids/library/a-cat-and-a-dog

Math25 min
Counting a big pile
- Count a pile of 60 to 120 small things by making groups of ten first.
- Count the tens, then the ones left over. Is it faster than counting by ones?
- Two-color counters on screenteach.peabody.kids/manipulatives/counters
History20 min
A book about me
- Make a four-page book: my name, my family, what I like, and what I want to learn this year.
- Your child writes a sentence on each page and draws a picture.
- Copywork maker: print a line to copyteach.peabody.kids/homeschool/aids/copywork
Read-aloud15 min
Read-aloud: Dumpling Takes the Lead
- Read “Dumpling Takes the Lead” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
- Afterward, ask: has anything like this happened to you? How was it the same, or different?
- Dumpling Takes the Lead, read-along on screenteach.peabody.kids/read-aloud/dumpling-takes-the-lead
