    Practice

    Student builds 173 and counts on by 10s five times (183, 193, 203, 213, 223), pausing at 193 to 203 to trade 10 bundles for a bag. Then starts at 173 again and counts by 100s to 873. Records both lists. Support: count by 10s only from 173 to 203 with the trade done together. Stretch: count backward by 10s from 223 to 173.

    Mini-Lesson

    Teach: the central message is the lesson the author wants readers to carry away, and it is usually something the main character learns. Brainstorm two or three possibilities (unkind words hurt; what makes you different is special; be yourself) and pick one to write on the palm of the hand sheet, with two story details that prove it.

    Writing Workshop

    Your child chooses a side and writes the opinion sentence at the top of the page: 'I think Chrysanthemum is a perfect name.' Then list two reasons underneath as short phrases (it is long and pretty like a flower; it made her feel special at home). Reasons may come from the book or from your child's own thinking.
