This week our class read stories about how children can be good citizens. They discussed how to listen, share, help others, respect one another, work together, and take turns.
Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills that we practiced.

High-Frequency Words: play, has Write the words play and has on paper. Then have your child write each word. Think of sentences about good citizens that include each word. Write down the sentences on paper.
Category Words: farm animals During the week, your child will read about farm animals. Reinforce farm animal names by singing “Old MacDonald Had a Farm.”
