When and where

1. Write a sentence about the wind, then add when and where it happened.
2. To revise, your child adds details: a describing word, a when, or a why. Two added details make a piece stronger.

Add or take away?

1. Read a story problem and decide first: is something joining, or going away?
2. Solve three: one adding, one taking away, and one your child picks.

Air is real

1. Push an upside-down cup straight down into a bowl of water. Why doesn't the inside fill up?
2. Tip the cup and watch the bubble come out: that was air.

The Statue of Liberty

1. Find New York Harbor on a map, where the Statue of Liberty stands holding her torch high.
2. Afterward, your child draws today's activity and writes one sentence about it.

Read-aloud: The North Wind and the Sun

1. Read “The North Wind and the Sun” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
2. Before reading, look at the title and the first page and ask: what do you think this story is about?
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.
