    Shared Reading

    Read the owl pages of Owl Moon together in soft voices. Stop at phrases like 'the trees stood still as giant statues' and 'Pa made a long shadow' and ask your child to find the part of the picture that shows what the words mean.

    Mini-Lesson

    Teach: when a word or phrase is tricky, look at the picture for a clue. Model with 'pumping' (the owl's wings in the picture) and 'clearing' (the open space with no trees). Add both words and a quick sketch to the word wall.

    Guided Reading

    Your child reads a just-right book and finds one word they did not know at first. They tell you how the picture helped, or, if it did not, how they used the sentence around it.

    Writing Workshop

    Write the strongest response of the week: 'Why do you have to be quiet when you go owling?' Require two pieces of evidence, one from the words (Pa's rule, 'you have to be quiet') and one from a picture (the child's closed mouth, the still woods). Then edit for capitals, periods, and the word 'because.'

    Project Work: Family Rights and Responsibilities Chart

    On a large sheet, make two columns: In Our Home Everyone Has the Right To... and In Our Home Everyone Is Responsible For.... Your child writes or draws three items in each column (right to be listened to, right to feel safe, right to rest; responsible for kind words, cleaning up, telling the truth). Each family member signs the bottom.

    Math practice · Week 5 · Thursday

    I can read and write big numbers I see in real life.

    Look: seven hundred thirty-four pages

    1. Seven hundred is 7 hundreds. Thirty-four is 3 tens and 4 ones.
    2. Write the number: 734.
    3. Expanded form: 700 + 30 + 4.

    Read each problem. Write the answer.

    1. Ana's book has four hundred sixty-five pages. Write the number.
    2. A jar holds 300 + 70 + 2 beads. Write the number in words.
    3. Jamal lives at 508 Elm Street. Write 508 in expanded form.
    4. A box has 641 crayons. Draw a quick picture of 641.

    Think and explain.

    1. Which page would you reach first: page 386 or page three hundred sixty-eight?
    2. How do you know?

    I can use a picture to figure out a new word. I can sort words by prefix.

    Look: What is a burrow?

    1. Read: The rabbit hopped into its burrow.
    2. The picture shows a hole in the ground.
    3. So a burrow is a hole where an animal lives.

    The Fox

    A red fox ran out of the trees and into the clearing. It stopped and sat in the soft snow.

    A red fox sits in the soft snow of a round clearing with woods all around it.

    Use the picture to help you.

    1. What does clearing mean?
    2. What in the picture helped you?

    Circle what the prefix means in each word.

    2. Name one responsibility you have.
