2nd grade, week 27, day 5

Reread: Hum Under My Hand

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

Sleep and screens

1. Children from 6 to 12 need about 9 to 12 hours of sleep a night. Count the hours you slept last night.
2. Make a bedtime plan that puts screens away an hour before bed.

My community poster

1. Make a poster about your community with a map, three places and two helpers.
2. Afterward, your child writes how today's topic shows up in their own town or home.

Read-aloud: The Princess and the Pea

1. Read “The Princess and the Pea” 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?
