1st grade, week 7, day 3

s and ending blends in sentences

1. Read the s and ending blends words from this week again, then read them in sentences: on the decodable page, or in three short sentences you write.
2. New sight words: “going” and “had”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Why day and night happen

1. Use a lamp as the sun and a ball as Earth.
2. Turn the ball slowly: Earth spins once every day, so each place takes a turn in the light.

Read-aloud: The Letter for the Moon

1. Read “The Letter for the Moon” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. Afterward, ask your child to tell the story back to you: first, next, last.
