2nd grade, week 36, day 4

Read: The Ugly Duckling

1. Your child reads it aloud to you, then reads one page again with expression, the way a character would say it.
2. When your child is stuck, say the first sound and let them finish the word, rather than saying the whole word.
3. Afterward, ask: what was your favorite page, and why?

• The Ugly Duckling, to read on screenon peabody.kidspeabody.kids/library/the-ugly-duckling

Next year

1. Write three things you want to learn in 3rd grade.
2. Your child writes about their year: what they learned, what was hard, and what they want to learn next.

Money and graphs

1. Count a handful of coins and bills, then make a bar graph of the coins by kind.
2. Ask two questions about the graph.

Graph the results

1. Make a bar graph of your results and write what it shows.
2. Your child writes two facts they found out and one question still left.

Checking my goal

1. Look back at the goal you set in week 1. Did you reach it?
2. Write how you worked toward it, and a new goal for next year.

Read-aloud: Eeyore's Birthday

1. Read “Eeyore's Birthday” aloud, and let your child turn the pages.
2. This is an old tale, told for a long time. Afterward, ask: what did someone in the story learn?
3. On the read-along you can show the pages on a big screen, or let it read the words aloud while each one lights up.
