2nd grade, week 9, day 5

Reread: Why Do Leaves Change Color?

1. Reread “Why Do Leaves Change Color?” from last week. The second time is smoother and quicker: that is fluency growing.
2. Find this week's sight words, “around” and “because”, in the book or on their cards.
3. Let your child pick one page to read to someone else in the family.

2. Talk about which skill each game practiced.

A rock report

2. Your child explains today's science to someone at home, then writes it down in three sentences.

Continents and oceans

1. Find the seven continents and five oceans on a globe or the Planet page.
2. Write the continent you live on and the ocean closest to you.

Read-aloud: Little Red Riding Hood

1. Read “Little Red Riding Hood” 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?
