Pick a good time for your child to work on the activities. You may want to do it around midmorning, or early afternoon when your child is not too tired.

Encourage your child to complete the worksheet, but don’t force the issue. While you may want to ensure that your child succeeds, it’s also important that your child maintain a positive and relaxed attitude toward school and learning. ld

After you’ve given your child a few minutes to look over the practice pages he or she will be working on, ask your child to tell you his or her plan of action: “Tell me about what we’re doing on these pages.” Hearing the explanation aloud can provide you with insight into your child’s thinking processes. Can he or she complete the work independently? With guidance? If your child needs support from a family member, try offering choices regarding with whom he or she will be working. Providing choices is an approach that can help boost your child’s confidence and help him or her feel more ownership of the work to be done.

Skill-Building Activities for Any Time The following activities are designed to complement the ten weeks of practice pages in this book. These activities don’t take more than a few minutes to complete and are just a handful of ways in which you can enrich and enliven your child’s learning. Use the activities to take advantage of the time you might ordinarily disregard—for example, standing in line or waiting at a bus stop. You’ll be working to practice key skills and have fun together at the same time.

Finding Real-Life Connections One of the reasons for schooling is to help children function out in the real world, to empower them with the abilities they’ll truly need. So why not put those developing skills into action by enlisting your child’s help b ut t te r with reading a map, sug ar following a recipe,

An Eye for Patterns A red-brick sidewalk, a beaded necklace, a Sunday newspaper—all show evidence of structure and organization. You can help your child recognize something’s structure or organization by observing and talking about patterns they see. Your child will apply his or her developing ability to spot patterns across all school subject areas, including alphabet letter formation (writing), attributes of shapes and solids (geometry), and characteristics of narrative stories (reading). Being able to notice patterns is a skill shared by




































Journals as Learning Tools Most of us associate journal writing with reading comprehension, but having your child keep a journal can help you keep up with his or her developing skills in other academic areas as well—from adding fractions to combining sentences. To get started, provide your child with several sheets of paper, folded in half, and stapled together. Explain that he or she will be writing and/or drawing in the journal to complement the practice pages completed each week. The journal is another tool you both can use to monitor progress of skills newly learned or practiced, or those that need improvement. Before moving on to another set of practice pages, take a few minutes to read and discuss that week’s journal entries together.

Promote Reading at Home ◆ Let

your child catch you in the act of reading for pleasure, whether you like reading science fiction novels or do-it-yourself magazines. Store them someplace that encourages you to read in front of your child and demonstrate that reading is an activity you enjoy. For example, locate your reading materials on the coffee table instead of your nightstand.

◆ Set

aside a family reading time. By designating a reading time each week, your family is assured an opportunity to discuss with each other what you’re reading. You can, for example, share a funny quote from an article. Or your child can tell you his or her favorite part of a story. The key is to make a family tradition of

Homer’s Big Adventure Use details from a story to help determine what will happen next. This is called making predictions.

Brian was in such a hurry to get to the school bus on time that he forgot to close the door on Homer’s cage after he fed him. Homer T. Hamster knew this was his big chance. He crawled out of his cage and ran downstairs, careful to sneak past Brian’s mother without being seen. He ducked through a hole in the screen door and stepped out into the great backyard. “Yippeeee!” cried Homer, throwing his little arms into the air. “I’m free at last!” He zipped through the gate and down the alley. The first thing

The truck rolled down the alley and into the street. As it turned the corner, Homer was flung off the truck and onto the hood of a school bus. He grabbed onto the windshield wipers as the bus drove to the corner and stopped. The bus driver exclaimed, “Look, kids! There is a hamster riding on our bus!” All the kids rushed forward to see the funny sight. Homer looked through the windshield at all the surprised faces. All of a sudden, Homer saw Brian! Brian ran out of the bus and carefully picked up Homer. “Hey, buddy, how did you get out here? Are you okay?” Brian asked as he petted Homer’s fur. 1.

Applause for the Clause Sometimes you can use words such as when , because , while , and before to combine two sentences with related ideas into one sentence with a main clause and a dependent clause. A clause is a group of words with a subject and a predicate. A dependent clause cannot stand alone. An independent clause can stand alone.

Lee woke up late today. He realized he hadn’t set the alarm last night. When Lee woke up late today, he realized he hadn’t set his alarm last night. This is a dependent clause.

This is an independent clause.

Week 5 • Day 2 Finding the Main Idea

What a Nose! An elephant’s trunk is probably the most useful nose in the world. Of course, it is used for breathing and smelling, like most noses are. However, elephants also use their trunks like arms and hands to lift food to their mouths. They suck water into their trunks and pour it into their mouths to get a drink. Sometimes they spray the water on their backs to give themselves a cool shower. An adult elephant can hold up to four gallons of water in its trunk. Elephants can use their trunks to carry heavy things, such as logs that weigh up to 600 pounds! The tip of the trunk has a little knob on it that the elephant uses like a thumb. An elephant can use the “thumb” to pick up something as small as a coin. Trunks are also used for communication. Two elephants that meet each other touch their trunks to each other’s mouth, kind of like a kiss. Sometimes a mother elephant will calm her baby by stroking it with her trunk. Can your nose do all those things? Find the statement below that is the main idea of the story. Write M.I. M.I. in in the elephant next to it. Then find the details of the story. Write D in in the elephant next to each detail. Be careful! There are two sentences that do not belong in this story. Elephants use their trunks to greet each other, like giving a kiss.

Elephants use their trunks to give themselves a shower.

Some people like to ride on elephants.

Elephants can carry heavy things with their trunks.

Mother elephants calm their babies by stroking them with their trunks.

Elephants use their trunks to eat and drink.

Elephants use their noses for smelling and breathing.

Elephants have very useful noses.




































Week 5 • Day 3 Expanding Sentences

Stretching Sentences A sentence is more interesting when it includes more than just a subject and a verb. It may tell where or when the sentence is happening. It may also tell why something is happening.

Write a sentence describing each set of pictures. Include a part that tells where, why, or how something is happening.

Week 5 • Day 4 Compare/Contrast

Special Charts Comparing and contrasting means to show the similarities and differences of things. A

Venn diagram is a chart made of overlapping circles that can be used to organize the similarities and differences. The overlapping parts p arts of the t he circles show how things are similar. The other part of the circles show how things are different.

I waked up and down the ha l looking for my classroom but I could never find it Then I went to the Lost and Found box and put on some some clothes I heard my principal say say “Son are you lost?” However However when I turned around it was the President of the United States States taking to me He asked me to fly on his jet with him As we were flying I looked out the window and saw a pterodactyl flying next to us! How could that be? They are extinct! It smiled and waved good bye Then all of a sudden the airplane turned into a roler coaster It c imbed upward a million miles miles then down we went! For hours and hours we just kept going straight down! The roller er coaster finally came to a stop and I was on an island made entirely of chocolate I ate a whole tree made of fudge! Then someone sneaked up behind me and captured me He put me in a pot of boiling water to make soup out of me I got hotter and hotter and hotter! Finally I woke up and realized I had fallen asleep with my electric blanket on high

Amy dreaded recess every day She did not have any friends to play with All the girls in her class were paired up with a best friend or in groups and she always felt left out So instead of playing with anyone Amy just waked around by herself She wanted to seesaw but that is something ng you need to do with a friend She lked to swing but she could not go very high She wished someone would push her to get her started One day the teacher teacher Mrs Gibb Gibbss waked up and put her arm around Amy “What’s the matter Amy? Why don’t you play with the other chldren?” she asked Amy replied “Everyone has a friend except me I don’t have anyone ” Mrs Gibbs smiled and said “Amy the way to get a friend is to be a friend” Amy asked “How do I do that?” Mrs Gibbs answered “Look around the playground There are three classes of third graders out here during this recess time Find someone who is alone and needs a friend Then go to that person and ask them to play” Amy said she would think about t but she was afraid she she would be too embarrassed She wasn’t sure she could do it The next day Amy noticed a dark haired girl al alone on the playground She worked up her courage and walked over to the girl “Hi! My name is Amy Do you want to play with me?” she asked “Okay ” the girl said shyly As they took turns pushing each other on the swings Amy found out that the girl’s girl’s name was Ming She and her fam ly had just moved from Japan She did not know anyone and could not speak much Engish yet She needed a friend “Want to seesaw?” Amy asked asked Ming looked puzzled Amy pointed to the seesaw Ming smiled and nodded Amy was so happy She finally had a friend!

Way back yonder in 1853 a traveling salesman named “Shifty” Sam Monroe rode into our lttle town of Dry Gulch I was there that day when Shifty stood on the steps of his buckboard seling Monroe’s Mighty Youth Tonic Shifty announced “Ladies and gentlemen emen lend me your ears I Sam Monroe Monroe have invented a tonic that wil give you back your youth I t will put a spring in your step You’ll feel years younger if you take a spoonful of this heavenly elixir once a day It contains a special blend of secret ingredients Why it once made a 94 yearold cowboy feel so young he went back tobustin’ broncs again! An old settler that was over 100 felt so young he let out a war whoop that could be heard in Pike County! It’s a steal at only one dolar a bottle Step right up and get yours now” Well I wondered what those secret ingredients were so I bought a bottle and tasted it It tasted l ke nothing but sugar water So I hid behind Shifty Sam’s wagon and waited for the crowd to mosey on home When Shifty went inside to make some more tonic I kept my eye on him Sure enough he mixed sugar and water and added a drop of vanilla We’d been hornswoggled ! I hightailed it right then over to the sheriff’s office and had him arrest that no good varmint Old Shifty is now spending the rest of his “mighty youth” behind bars! 51

Timothy the Tiger

Wil and Kate thought it would be a great adventure to travel west with the wagon train In the spring of 1880 their family left their home in Pennsylvania and joined a wagon train headed for California For months their only home was the wagon A large canvas was spread over metal hoops hoops on top of the wagon to make a roof Will helped his father oil the canvas so that the rain would slide off and keep them dry inside Each day Kate and Will gathered wood as they walked beside the wagon In the evening when the wagons stopped Kate and her mother built a campfire for cooking supper supper They hauled suppies with them so that they could cook beans and biscuits Sometimes the men went hunting and brought back fresh deer meat or a rabbit for stew When t rained for several days the roads were so muddy that the wagons got stuck There was always danger of snakes and bad weather There were rivers and mountains to cross There was no doctor to take care of those who got sick or injured Will and Kate were right Traveling wth a wagon train was a great adventure but it was a very hard lfe
