Warm-Up

Review last week's place value chart. Display 63 with beans and sticks: 6 bundles of ten and 3 loose beans. Ask, 'How many tens? How many ones? Now show me 36. What changed?'

Mini-Lesson

Count out 100 craft sticks together by tens, bundling every 10 with a rubber band as you go. Line the 10 bundles up in a row and say, 'Ten bundles of ten. One hundred. 10 tens = 100.' Write 100 on an index card and place it above the bundles.

Practice

Student builds 40, 70, and 100 with bundles only, then draws each as a set of tall sticks and writes the matching sentence: '4 tens = 40', '7 tens = 70', '10 tens = 100'. Then ask for 9 tens and 1 more ten: what number is that?

Wrap-Up

Ask, 'If I have 10 bundles of ten, how many sticks is that? How do you know?' Student answers in a full sentence. Post the 100 card on the wall for the week.

Read-Aloud

Before reading, recall last week's Owl at Home: 'Remember how Owl kept running up and down the stairs to be upstairs and downstairs at once? Today we meet two new friends, Frog and Toad.' Read 'Spring' from Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel. Pause when Frog shouts up the stairs and again when Toad sees 'May' on the calendar, and ask, 'What does Toad do right here? How is he feeling?'

10 min

Mini-Lesson

Make a three-column chart titled Event, What the character does, How the character feels. Fill in one row together: Event: Frog wakes Toad in April. Does: pulls the covers over his head and says 'Blah.' Feels: sleepy and grumpy. Teach the big idea: authors show feelings through what characters do and say, so readers have to watch closely.

15 min

Guided Reading

Your child rereads 'Spring' aloud (or reads a just-right book from the library basket). Give two sticky notes and ask them to mark one place where Toad does something because of an event, then tell you the event and the response in their own words.

15 min

Writing Workshop

Launch a two-week small-moment story. Brainstorm a list of moments with a friend or family member: a time you laughed hard, a time you were scared, a time something went wrong. Your child picks one, tells it across three fingers (first, next, last), and sketches the three parts in three boxes on a folded paper.

10 min

Phonics

Introduce the vowel teams ai and ay, which both say long a. Write these words on index cards and read them together: rain, paint, train, wait, mail, snail, day, play, stay, away, gray, tray. Sort into two piles and ask what your child notices about where ai sits (middle) and where ay sits (end).

Science Question of the Week

Ask, 'How can we describe what something is made of?' Remind your child that last week scientists used their senses to observe; this week the job is to use property words. Write the words color, texture, hardness, flexible and absorbs on an index card to keep on the table all week.

20 min

Investigation: Mystery Bag Properties

Put 8 objects in a paper bag (a spoon, a sponge, a cotton ball, a rock, a rubber band, a paper clip, a wooden block, a crayon). Your child pulls one out without looking, describes it with at least three property words, then guesses what it is. Record each object and its properties in a chart with the columns Object, Color, Texture, Hard or Soft, Bends or Does Not Bend. Support: offer two choices for each column ('Is it rough or smooth?'). Stretch: add a column for 'What is it made of?' (metal, wood, plastic, cloth, stone).

Wrap-Up

Ask, 'Which two objects share the most properties? Which two are most different?' Have your child say one complete sentence such as 'The spoon and the paper clip are both hard and shiny.'
