drop the e in sentences

1. Read the drop the e 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: “been” and “before”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

A question to start

How far is it?

1. With a grown-up, use a map to find how far three places are from home, and put them in order from nearest to farthest.

Read-aloud: Eight Arms

1. Read “Eight Arms” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
