Good
morning! Happy Arbor Day! Arbor Day is a holiday celebrating trees and taking
care of nature.
Let’s
begin our day with prayer.
Let the trees of the forest sing,
Let them sing for joy before the Lord,
For he comes to judge the earth.
Amen.
If you have any special intentions, please finish with the
Glory Be to the Father after them. (You may want to say a prayer for all the police
officers, firefighters, and ambulance drivers.)
Please say the Pledge of Allegiance.

Take a quick break
PHONICS
*read the word list on page 225
*do box #2 and circle all the words with ee spellings and
underline all the words with ea spellings
Oral Segmenation
*say the following words one at a time to your child
*have your child say each word sound by sound
You say: see Your
child says: /s/ /ē/
Words: each, keep, team, beach, east, keeps, clear, dreams
(This activity helps your child take apart words which helps
them spell words and notice vowel sounds.)
*review high frequency words:
find, around, under, wash, here,
not
(If you made flashcards for high frequency words you could
spend 5 minutes a day going over them.)
Page 229 Think and Write
*have your child say the name of each picture and write the
spelling for each sound in a separate box (they can ask you ‘Which long e
spelling?’)
1~s-ee-d
2~p-ea-ch
3~s-l-ee-p
Listen and Spell
*have your child write each word and the sentence
You say:
1-read 2-deep
3-neat 4-sheet
5-I need to speak with you.
(again it is okay for
your child to ask ‘Which long e spelling?’)
Page 230 Make New Words
*make new words with ea or ee spellings
(When we do this at school they have alphabet tiles or
flashcards. You can also make a template on paper or a whiteboard with ee and
ea and have your child add letters to make words. This time it is difficult
because Pete, meat, and feet all rhyme but use different long e spellings. You can
suggest words families like:
-eat, -ee, -ean
If they make a mistake, explain it is tricky and help
correct the mistake.)
Take another quick break
READING
We are continuing to read books about living and working in a
community. Keep thinking about this as you listen to our new book BLACKOUT
*please fill in the small anchor chart
Title: Blackout
Author/Illustrator: John Rocco (He did both)
(If your child needs
to practice ask them:
‘What
does the title tell us?’
‘What
does the author do?’
‘What
does the illustrator do?’
*discuss vocabulary
blackout-(when all the lights in a town
or city go out)
huddled-(to crowd together in a tight
group) (remind them of the penguins)
normal-(what usually happens)
*listen to/watch the book on youtube.com
Ask:
‘What makes a
city loud?’ (Did you notice the sound words in the
illustrations at
the beginning of the book?)
‘The Dad made
shadows of things on the wall. Who did he scare?
(the cat) ‘Do
you know anyone who can make shadow pictures on the
walls?’ (try it
tonight with a flashlight and your hand in the dark)
‘Where does the
family go first?’ (to the rooftop)
(Explain when they get up to the
rooftop, the author says ‘and found the lights’ about rooftops on city
buildings, show them a picture if they don’t understand.)
‘What does the author mean by
lights? (many stars)
‘Why are the people having
parties on the rooftops?’ (it is too hot in the apartments, more fun, people are
connecting, not being separated in their apartments)
‘What happened when they went
down and out onto the street?’
(another party was going on
there too)
‘Why does the boy turn out the
lights when everything is back to normal?’ (he wants to play games with his
family like when the lights were out, no one was too busy to play when the
light were out)
‘How did the blackout help the
boy’s community?’ (everyone was together not in their own apartments.)
