1st grade, week 21, day 4

Read: Liv and the Ants

1. Your child reads it aloud to you, then reads one page again with expression, the way a character would say it.
2. When your child is stuck, say the first sound and let them finish the word, rather than saying the whole word.
3. Afterward, ask: who was in the story, and what happened?

Wind on the land

1. Draw a sand pile before and after the wind, with labels and a sentence for each.
2. A labeled diagram shows the parts of something. Your child draws it, labels three parts, and writes a sentence about each.

Counting back by tens

1. Count back by tens from 120 to 10, then from 100 to 0.
2. Write the numbers as you go, and read the list back.

Wind changes the land

1. Put a small pile of dry sand on a tray and blow on it gently through a straw.
2. What shape does the pile become? Wind moves sand in deserts and on beaches.

A plan for the month

1. Make a calendar page for this month and write three plans on it.
2. Your child tells someone at home about today, then writes one word for it on the family calendar.

Read-aloud: Dinosaurs Are Still Here

1. Read “Dinosaurs Are Still Here” aloud, and let your child turn the pages.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
3. On the read-along you can show the pages on a big screen, or let it read the words aloud while each one lights up.
