Kindergarten, week 7, day 4

Read: Pam Pins a Map

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 your child to tell it back: what happened first, next and last?

Cones and cylinders

1. A cone has one point and a round bottom; a cylinder is like a can, round at both ends.
2. Test which shapes roll, which stack and which do both.

Stars

1. On a clear night, look for stars together. Which is brightest?
2. Long ago people named pictures in the stars. Make up a picture of your own.

Read-aloud: Mina and the Eight Planets

1. Read “Mina and the Eight Planets” aloud, and let your child turn the pages.
2. This one is true. Afterward, ask: what is one new thing you learned? Then find one more fact in it together.
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.
