A better park

1. Write a letter to an imaginary town leader suggesting one way to improve a park.

Read-aloud: The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs

1. Read “The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs” 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?
