Kindergarten, week 31, day 4

Read: In My Bag

1. Your child reads it, and you help with words they can't sound out yet. Look for the a_e words.
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 your child to tell it back: what happened first, next and last?

Faces of a box

1. Trace each face of a cereal box on paper.
2. What flat shapes did you get? Rectangles, maybe squares.

Big and small

1. Is it only about weight? Test a big apple and a small coin.
2. The apple floats and the coin sinks. Talk about why that might be.

Read-aloud: Ben and the Puddle Boat

1. Read “Ben and the Puddle Boat” aloud, and let your child turn the pages.
2. Afterward, ask: who was your favorite in the story, and why?
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.
