2nd grade, week 5, day 3

i_e, igh, y and ie in sentences

1. Read the i_e, igh, y and ie words from this week again, then read them in sentences: on the decodable page, or in three short sentences you write.
2. New sight words: “which” and “why”. These are read by sight, not sounded out. Write each on a card and read the cards every day this week.

Wind speed

1. Watch flags, trees and smoke to judge the wind: calm, a breeze, or strong wind.
2. Make a three-row chart and fill it each day.

Safe online

1. Talk about rules for screens: ask before clicking, never share your name or where you live, and tell a grown-up if something feels wrong.
2. Your child explains today to someone at home, then writes the main idea in a sentence.

Read-aloud: Rain's Long Trip

1. Read “Rain's Long Trip” aloud. Give the characters different voices; it helps a young listener follow who is talking.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
