Dear Family Member:

This week our class will be focusing on the qualities that make animals unique. We will talk about what characteristics make animals different from each other.

Here are some activities that you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be practicing.

Word Workout

• Words to Know: synonyms You and your child define the words. Then you will take turns using words from the list in sentences.
• Spelling/Phonics: r-controlled vowels You will read the words to your child. Have your child identify the spelling of the /ur/ sound in each word (for example: ir, er, ur, and or).
