  2. Read these words together, running a finger under each one as you say it: home, bone, nose and rope.
  3. Your child finds a o_e and u_e word in a book or on a box at home.
Math20 min

Writing 1 to 20

Science15 min

Trash and recycling

  1. Sort a day's trash together: what can be recycled, and what goes in the trash?
  2. Check your town's recycling rules on the bin or its lid.
Read-aloud15 min

Read-aloud: A Bath for the Birds

  1. Read “A Bath for the Birds” aloud. It is above what your child reads alone, on purpose: hearing longer stories builds words and understanding.
  2. Before reading, look at the title and the first page and ask: what do you think this story is about?
  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.
