Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine Party

We had a fun Valentine Party!  We played games, decorated Valentine boxes, and distributed Valentine cards.  

Reading

We’ve been focusing on the parts of a story.  Good questions to ask when you read with your child are:

-          Who was in the story?

-          Where did the story take place?

-          What was the problem in the story?

-          How was the problem solved?

-          How did the character feel at the beginning/end of the story?

It’s also a good idea to ask your child what he/she predicts will happen in the story before you read.  Then check afterward to see if their prediction came true.  Happy Reading!

Math
