Week 3: Tuesday

Today, we will be working on:

There will be no Reading Comprehension this week.

Daily Edit

Download these two documents: Week 3 Tuesday Passage A & B (Teacher-Parent Copy) and Week 3 Tuesday Passage B (Student Worksheet).
Give Passage B to your child.
Read Passage A aloud to your child (do not let them see it) while they follow along with Passage B.
Read Passage B aloud to your child (have them follow with their finger, if needed).
Read Passage A aloud to your child again while your child follows Passage B.
Give your child time to edit Passage B with a pencil or a marker. * Note: If you are unable to print this out, you child can orally edit the passage instead.
Review their edits and provide hints to help them finish it (e.g. What needs to be capitalized? What is at the end of a sentence? The vowel is saying its name, which means that there is a silent _?_ at the end of the word).
Show your child Passage A and have them compare to see how they did.

Don't forget to take breaks in between work! It is important to get a breather while learning so our brain can continue to learn hard things for us.

Please refer to my 5-Minute Brain Break Ideas blog post if you are stuck on what to do.

Welcome back! Before moving onto the next task, please review the story again. Make sure to pay attention to the words as the story is being read.

(Read aloud starts at 0:07.)

Please work with your child on completing the tasks below. Students are welcomed and encouraged to re-visit the story at anytime.

List some words from the -ake word family. Bake, cake, fake, lake, make, rake, take, wake
Write a sentence for two of the words and underline them. (Answers will vary.) I like to bake cookies. I am going to the lake. • Adaptation: Provide a sentence starter for your child (e.g. "I like...", "There is a..."). I will rake the leaves. There is a cake. • Extension: Add details to your sentences (i.e. include adjectives and adverbs). I like to bake chocolate chip cookies with my family. I am going to run as quick as I can to the beautiful lake nearby. • Extension: Use two or more -ake words in your sentences. I like to bake cakes. I am going to take a cake to eat by the lake.
Draw a picture of your sentences.

Please remember to upload a picture of your child's work or of your child working on their e-Portfolios on Portal. Thank you.
