Dear Family Member:

This week our class will be reading stories about the transportation used to take people from place to place. Children will learn about how families in the past traveled and how these vehicles compare with what is used today.

Here are some resources you can use with your child to help reinforce the skills we will be practicing.

Student Learning Goals

Have your child talk to you about the learning goals they are focusing on. Ask about any goals that are particularly easy or challenging.

Word Workout

• Vocabulary: transportation, vehicle Discuss the different kinds of transportation you take from place to place. Then invite your child to draw pictures of each type of transportation.
• My Words to Know

High-Frequency Words: here, me Write the words here and me and ask your child to write each word. Think of sentences that use each word, then read the sentences together.

Category Words: vehicles Play “Guess the Vehicle.” Give your child clues about different kinds of vehicles. Encourage your child to guess the vehicle, and then act out how it is used.

Phonics: j, qu Have your child guess words that begin with the letter j. Give a clue and act out each word. When your child guesses the word, write the word on a chart. Repeat for qu.
