Dear Family Member:
This week, our class will be reading stories about how a community changes their environment—such as by building roads, playgrounds, and community gardens—to improve it.
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
High-Frequency Words: to, and, go, you, do Write each of the words on paper and ask your child to trace them. Then write a sentence using each word.
Category Words: position words Play “Simon Says” using position words, such as up, down, over, under, front, back, first, next, and last.
Phonics: i, n, c, o, d, s-blends (sn, sp, st) Play a guessing game with your child. Ask your child to think of things that begin with each letter or blend.
Comprehension: Details/Time Order
Read a short story to your child. Then ask your child to order the story’s pictures by writing first, next, or last under the pictures. Invite your child to retell the story.
