Reread: The Four Big Pages

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

Our research page

Same total, different arrays

2. Draw each one and write its adding sentence.

A home museum

1. Set up a small museum of three old things, with a label card for each one.
2. Afterward, your child writes how today's topic shows up in their own town or home.

Read-aloud: The Steadfast Tin Soldier

1. Read “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” 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?
