Reread: Ruby and the Rainy Picnic

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

Clear, cloudy, blocked

1. Shine a flashlight through clear plastic, wax paper and cardboard. Sort them by how much light gets through.
2. Write which material would make the best window shade.

Job well done

1. At the end of the week, check the chart: which jobs got done, and what would you change?
2. Afterward, your child writes how today's topic shows up in their own town or home.

Read-aloud: The Magic Paintbrush

1. Read “The Magic Paintbrush” 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?
