Warm-Up

Flash each coin and your child names it and its value. Then a quick count: 2 quarters, 1 dime, 1 nickel, 2 pennies (67¢). Ask: 'How much more to make $1.00?' (33¢).

Weekly Assessment

Part 1: your child labels drawings of the four coins with name and value using the ¢ symbol. Part 2: they count two sets from the jar and write the totals: 1 quarter, 2 dimes, 3 nickels, 4 pennies (64¢) and 3 quarters, 1 dime, 1 penny (86¢). Part 3: three word problems. 'Jade has 2 dimes and 3 nickels. How much money?' (35¢). 'Tom buys gum for 35¢ and pays with 2 quarters. What is his change?' (15¢). 'Nia has $8 and earns $3 more. How much does she have?' ($11).

Practice: Coin Jar Estimate and Count

Your child estimates how much money is in a small scoop from the jar, then sorts by coin, counts each kind, and adds the four amounts to find the true total (keep the scoop under $1). Compare the estimate to the actual amount and write both with the ¢ symbol, just like the length estimates in Week 20.

Reading Assessment

Reread the last page of Chapter 7 aloud. Your child writes three sentences: the event, how Wilbur responded with a clue from the text, and what the chapter teaches. Then they write two Word Collector words with their meanings in their own words.

Publishing and Author's Chair

Your child copies the revised story-lesson paragraph neatly, draws Wilbur and Charlotte in the barn doorway, and reads it from the author's chair. Listeners repeat back the Word Collector words they heard and your child gives the meaning of each.
