Reread: A Bath for the Birds

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

Would I read it again?

2. Your child writes the title, what the book was about in one sentence, and what they thought of it and why.

How long is an hour?

1. Set a timer for one hour and notice what gets done before it rings.
2. Check the clock at the start and the end: the short hand moved one number.

Worms help plants

1. Worms make tunnels for air and water and leave behind rich soil. Draw a worm's tunnels under a plant.
2. Your child writes one question today's science made them wonder about.

What stays the same

1. What is the same about school then and now? Reading, writing, numbers, friends and a teacher.
2. Your child fills in a same-and-different diagram: school then, school now, and both.

• Venn diagram: same and different (printable)teach.peabody.kids/printables/reading/venn-diagram

Read-aloud: Muskrat Is Grumpy

1. Read “Muskrat Is Grumpy” 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?
