Wonders
This week our class focused on ways in which friends get along with each other. Children read stories about how friends share, take turns, and resolve conflicts, or problems, with one another.
Here are some activities you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be practicing.
Word Workout
- Vocabulary: friend, problem Have your child talk about the ways he or she solves a problem with a friend. Encourage your child to act out with you a solution to a problem he or she has experienced with a friend.
- My Words to Know
High-Frequency Word: the Have your child find the word the in the title of a favorite book. Then ask your child to write the word and use it in a sentence.
Category Words: feeling words Draw happy and sad faces on index cards. Ask questions and invite your child to hold up a feeling card that answers each question. Then draw more faces to show other feelings and make up questions to go with them.
Phonics: m Write words that begin or end with m on sticky notes. Have your child circle the m in each word, then find objects that begin/end with m and place a sticky note on them.
Comprehension: key details
Read the story, then have your child tell what detail in each picture shows how Pam and Sam are friends.
