your child. Have your child go back and write a list of all the text features they saw. Have your child write which

text feature they found to be the most helpful and why. Draw a picture of this text feature.

E. Phonics/Fluency f3f4Set a timer for one minute to read the passage out loud. Mark where you stopped with a red color. Reset the

timer and reread the passage aloud again and mark with an orange color where you ended. Repeat until all the rainbow colors

are used.

read, pay attention to:How is the character

responding to the events in the story? How is the character responding to

challenges in the story?

graphic organizer with the main idea at the center.

I. Grammar l5There are many words that have similar meanings. We call these

words ‘shades of meaning’. For example, shout, yell, and whisper all mean to speak, but they have different subtle

meanings. For each word, identify 3 additional words that have similar meanings.ΔTiny ΔSpicy ΔLookΔSilly ΔPretty

J. Writing 2W3Write a story about when you lost one of your favorite things. Brainstorm topics to include such as:

How did you feel? Did you find it? Did someone help you find it? When writing your rough draft, remember to focus on adding a strong

introduction and conclusion and don’t be afraid to ask for editing from a family member!

K. Reading RL6Readers need to pay attention to how characters are speaking/what they are saying. While reading a book

with dialogue, read it as if YOU are the character. Think about: How would the character be saying this based on what is happening in

the story and based on the punctuation? Read aloud using that type of voice.

L. Integrate Ideas RI.7Have your child read a

non-fiction book or article. Students will now be a

critic! Rate what you read out of 5 stars and tell your audience what you

liked and didn’t like about the book or article. Would you recommend it to others? Did it give you enough new information?

The first person to say the correct product first keeps the cards. Play until you run out of cards in your hand. Whoever has the most in their winning pile, wins.

B. Fractions NF1Fraction Flash: Use index cards to make 8 flash cards showing the following fractions:

1/2, 2/3, 2/4, 3/4, 4/6, 6/6, 3/8, 6/8Illustrate the fraction on the front

and place the answer on the back.

C. Fractions NF2Draw 7 equal lines using a ruler across your page.Mark the left end as 0 and the right end as 1.Partition the lines into the following fractions: halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, eighths, and twelfths.Label each fraction in its proper place.

d. Fluency OA3On sticky notes or small sheets of paper write the digits 0-9. Using each digit only once, solve the following equations. All 10 numbers should beused tocompletethe puzzle.

e. Fractions NF1Alphabet Fractions: On paper, write the alphabet using different colors for the vowels and consonants. Then, count how many

vowels there are and how many consonants there are. Lastly, write the fraction to show how many vowels and how many consonants

there are out of the total alphabet.

f. Fractions NF2Use your Number Lines to answer the following questions:How many sixths are between 0 and 1?How many 12ths are equivalent to 1 whole?What fraction on the Number Line is equivalent to 2/6 ?

g. Fluency OA3Using flash cards (or on index cards or solo cups) write down the facts you have the hardest time remembering. Build a tower using these cards quizzing yourself as

you go! If you don't know the fact, put it at the bottom of your pile to try again. If some of the cards or cups fall, practice that fact again before restacking.

h. Fractions NF1It's That Time.:Make or print 5 blank clock faces. Divide a face into halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and twelfths. Tell how

many minutes there are in 1/2 hour, 1/3 hour, 1/4 hour, 1/6 hour, 1/10 hour, and 1/12 hour.

i. Fractions NF2Create two sets of cards modeling at least 6 fractions on a number line (12 total). Put a star on one of the

fractions. Do not label the others. On a separate card, write a matching answer to the stared fraction. Flip all your cards over and mix them up. Lay them out in a grid and play a turnover matching game!

Matching card would say 2/3
