Kindergarten, week 17, day 2

Write the sounds

1. Say a sound; your child writes the letter for it. Go through the letters learned so far.
2. Then say a short word (hit, hip, yes, fun, on and vat); your child says its sounds and writes it, one sound at a time.
3. Check together. Writing a word by its sounds is real progress, even with a letter off.

Flying away

1. Many birds fly to warmer places for the winter.
2. Look for birds this week: which ones stayed?

Read-aloud: Penguins Up Close

1. Read “Penguins Up Close” aloud, with your child beside you where they can see the pictures.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
