    Reading Celebration

    Your child holds up the four books from this week and last ('Sharks,' 'What Is the World Made Of?,' 'Monarch Butterfly,' 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar') and sorts them onto the purpose chart, giving one reason each. Celebrate the difference between a book that teaches and a book that entertains.

    Reading Response or Assessment

    Your child reads the migration spread of 'Monarch Butterfly' independently and answers in writing: What is the author's main purpose for this book (answer, explain, describe, or entertain)? What does the author want to explain on this page? Copy one sentence that proves it. Would you use this book for research and why?

    Publishing and Author's Chair

    Your child presents the research folder from the Author's Chair: the topic, the three questions, the three sources (two books and observation), and the two most interesting facts found so far. The audience asks one question the writer still needs to research, which goes on a new page.
