1st grade, week 21, day 5

Reread: Gus and the Big Rock

1. Reread “Gus and the Big Rock” from last week. The second time is smoother and quicker: that is fluency growing.
2. Find this week's sight words, “when” and “always”, in the book or on their cards.
3. Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.

My land report

1. Make a page with a title, a labeled picture of the land near home, and three sentences.
2. A labeled diagram shows the parts of something. Your child draws it, labels three parts, and writes a sentence about each.

Stories with tens

1. Tell two stories: 70 stickers and 30 given away, and 90 pennies and 50 spent. How many are left each time?
2. Your child writes the number sentence for each.

The land where I live

1. Is the land near your home flat, hilly or near water? Look out the window or take a walk.
2. Your child draws the land near home and writes one sentence about it.

Writing the date

1. Write today's date, then yesterday's and tomorrow's, with the month, the day and the year.
2. Afterward, your child draws a picture and writes a caption under it.

Read-aloud: Bracken Keeps the Hill

1. Read “Bracken Keeps the Hill” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. Afterward, ask: has anything like this happened to you? How was it the same, or different?
