Literacy Learning with Daily 5
Reading
This week in our reading comprehension lesson we read two books: People in My Neighborhood and Places in My Neighborhood. These books gave us opportunities to make connections to ourselves (text-to-self connections) and connections between the two books (text-to-text connections). We were able to discuss these connections with our reading partners which helped us understand the books more thoroughly.
Writing
Math
Vocabulary Words
- neighborhood - “group of streets, houses, and stores near your home"
- neighborly - “friendly and helpful to your neighbors”
- spot - “see or notice someone or something that is hard to see" OR "a small mark or stain on something"
- rush - “move somewhere or do something very quickly”
• Invite your child to act out the words.
• Have your child draw pictures about the words or write sentences or stories that use the words.
• Tell each other real or imagined stories that include the words.
• Talk about the words when you hear them used or see them in storybooks, on signs and posters, or elsewhere.
• Use the words to play games such as “I’m Thinking of a Word,” in which you give each other clues about a word and then try to guess the word.
Encourage your child to share other interesting words he or she encounters, and discuss interesting words you hear. Above all, have fun with words!
