Kindergarten, week 17, day 4

Read: Jen and the Jam

1. Your child can sound out every word in it: it uses only letters they know, plus a few sight words. Point under each word as they read.
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: who was in the story, and what happened?

1. Everyone in the family holds up ten fingers. Count all the fingers by tens.
2. How many would two more people add?

Food for winter

1. Squirrels hide nuts in fall to eat in winter.
2. Put some seeds out for birds and watch who comes.

Read-aloud: The Ant and the Grasshopper

1. Read “The Ant and the Grasshopper” 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.
