Parent & Teacher Guide — Quarter 3

How each week works

• Week Spread (2 pages): objectives by subject, standards, vocabulary, a materials checklist, a parent tip and a week-at-a-glance table
• Day Spread (2 pages for each of the 45 days): each lesson with its objective, a timed step-by-step script, materials, and the exact workbook pages your child will use
• Watch for and Try: the mix-ups second graders most often make, and what to do about each one
• Remember? answers for the daily review boxes
• What to do next: after the Friday checks, three clear routes for each subject, plus a full math catch-up activity
• Answers for every workbook page, reading passage, weekly check and specials page
