Reread: Rain's Long Trip

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

A captioned page

1. Make a page with a title, a labeled diagram, and a caption that tells what it shows.
2. A diagram shows the parts of something. Your child draws it, labels four parts, and writes a sentence about each.

A race to 1,000

1. Roll a die: an odd number means add 10, an even number means add 100. Start at 200 and play until someone passes 1,000.
2. Write each step on paper as you go.

Seasons on the calendar

1. Find the first day of each season on a calendar and count the months in each season.
2. Afterward, your child writes how today's topic shows up in their own town or home.

Read-aloud: The Three Billy Goats Gruff

1. Read “The Three Billy Goats Gruff” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
