Conversation Starters
As a way to foster conversations with your child about what we are learning, please ask him/her the following:
Talk with your child about his favorite Dr. Seuss book. Why is it his favorite? Is there a special part in the book that he especially loves?
Magical Mathematicians
Please read the following problem with your child and help him solve the problem.
Tom has 7 toy trucks. Landry has 4 toy trucks. How many more toy trucks does Tom have than Landry?
(If your child is ready, perhaps challenge him with higher numbers, perhaps numbers 15-20.)
Your child can earn a special reward by drawing a picture to illustrate the math problem above. Please return the math work on Monday.

What is the setting in the story? Who are the characters?
