    Activities

    10 min

    Warm-Up

    Read yesterday's tally table aloud. Ask, 'How many more votes did the winner get than the fruit in last place?' and write the subtraction equation together.

    15 min

    Mini-Lesson

    Draw a picture graph frame: four rows labeled with the fruits and a key at the bottom that says 'Each circle = 1 vote.' Model drawing one circle per vote in the apple row, lined up neatly from the left so rows can be compared by length.

    15 min

    Practice

    Your child completes the picture graph for all four fruits, adds the title 'Our Favorite Fruits,' and answers three questions in writing: 'Which fruit has the most pictures? Which two fruits together equal the winner? How many votes are shown in all?'

    5 min

    Wrap-Up

    Cover the numbers and ask your child to tell which fruit won just by looking at row length. Ask, 'Why does the key matter?'

    Shared Reading: What the Neighbors Brought

    Reread the pages after the fire where neighbors and family bring a table, chairs, a rug, pizza, and help carrying things. Tie to social studies: 'Yesterday you learned about goods and services.' Sort each thing the neighbors gave into Goods (things) or Services (help) on a two-column chart.

    Mini-Lesson: The Add-On Chain

    Explain the add-on chain: one person says an idea, the next person must begin with a stem and add one new detail, and the chain must be three links long before anyone changes the subject. Practice with 'Pizza is a good dinner' and count the links on your fingers.

    Guided Reading: Chains About the Book

    Run two add-on chains: 'How did the neighbors help the family?' and 'Where did the coins in the jar come from?' (Mama's tips, Grandma's bargains, Rosa's help at the diner). Each link must point to a page; stop and reread if a link has no evidence.

    Writing Workshop: Juicy, Spicy, Crunchy

    At the Blue Tile Diner, Mama serves food all day. Your child chooses three foods from your own kitchen and writes one sentence each using a describing word (juicy, spicy, crunchy, sweet, sour) and where the food is eaten: 'Crunchy carrots are in my lunchbox.' Add the three describing words to the Words at Work page.

    Read-Aloud and Discussion

    Read 'Market Street' pages of 'Last Stop on Market Street' by Matt de la Pena, or if you have it, 'On Market Street' by Arnold Lobel. As CJ and Nana ride, stop at the bus driver, the guitar player, and the soup kitchen and ask: 'Is this person giving a thing or doing a job for someone?' Define goods as things you can hold that people make or grow (bread, shoes, apples) and services as work someone does for you (haircut, bus ride, doctor visit).

    Hands-On Activity: Goods and Services Hunt

    Walk through your home with a clipboard. In the kitchen, your child lists 5 goods (cereal, milk, spoon, pot, apple). Then brainstorm 5 services your family has used this month (trash pickup, mail delivery, dentist, library, a bus or car repair). Make a T-chart with a drawing for each. Ask the connecting question: 'Who made the cereal? Who drove it to the store?' Every good needs services to reach us.
