Please ask your child,
To tell you who we celebrate in February (African American/Black History Month. The “why” will come soon!)
To tell you what equality means (when everyone gets the same thing)
To tell you what equity means (when everyone gets what they need)
To give you an example of equality vs. equity
To tell you what the problem and solution in a story mean (The problem is what goes wrong, and the solution is how the problem gets fixed.)
To tell you what the plot of a story is (all the events that happen in a story)
To compare two groups of objects and tell you which group has more
To compare two groups of objects and tell you how many more (start with 1 or 2 more — add more objects if your child can identify numbers greater than 2. Don’t forget to line objects up to compare.)
To show you how to write uppercase and lowercase letters Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd
To use our latest sight words, like and have, in a sentence
To tell you the job of silent e, or magic e (it makes the other vowel say its name — cap to cape)
To tell you why have is a sight word and does not follow the silent e/magic e rule (the e is there because English words do not end in v. It’s a spelling rule, not a vowel rule.)
To tap out the sounds in words such as cap, hat, bike, pole, and dime, and then write the words (we do not tap out the silent e because it does not make a sound)
To tell you what a sentence needs (an uppercase letter at the beginning, finger spaces, and punctuation)
To tell you what tools good writers use to make their writing easier to read (checklists, word wall, vowel charts)
To share their rose, thorn, and bud from this week
