5. Word Family of the week – “__out” list as many words as you can that end in “out”. For example: about, sprout.
When you have a good list, practice them by writing them again in alphabetical order. See how many of the
“__out” family words you can find around your house.
6. Spelling words for the week – please, pretty, ran, ride, say. Practice these words by drawing them with chalk on
your driveway or use some playdoh to form the letters. Send pictures of your finished product!

Writing Ideas for the week:

1. Storytelling time! Put your skills to work and write a story using at least 3 of the following words: hen, egg, chick,
airplane, goggles, parachute, and seeds. Let’s see what kinds of exciting story you can come up with!
2. Friends & Family – Some of us are missing our friends and family right now… one thing that helps me is writing
letters to them! Even if you cannot deliver them right now try writing a letter to someone you miss, a friend from
school, teacher, cousin, aunt, uncle, your babysitter! (Don’t stop at just one though… feel free to write as many
as you would like!)

Try to write 5-7 sentences. Use a beginning sentence, 3 details, and a wrap up sentence. Make sure you spell word wall
words correctly and use invented spelling for trickier words. Draw and colour a picture as well. Remember that
sometimes is takes a few days to complete a piece of writing, so don’t feel that you have to do it all at once.

Ask your adult to send a picture of your finished product to your teacher, we love receiving our “kid’s” writing. It makes
us smile!

money by grouping coins and counting on. Make a game of it by having another person “spill” some coins out
as well and see who has the most money! Challenge – see who can have the most amount of money using the
least amount of coins. Good luck!
