Reading: notice things about books with your child when you read together. Notice captions, illustrations, charts, pictures, diagrams, etc. Talk about why they are there and how they help the reader to make sense of the story or information. Connect these features with the purpose of the book. Is the illustrator trying to help you understand more to the story than the author wrote? Are the photographs there to help you see what the animal looks like? How do text features help our learning?
Math: students are expected to be able to estimate lengths using inches, feet, centimeters and meters (Common Core Standard: 2.MD.A.3) The only way to get really good at estimating is to have a lot of practice measuring! Send your student on a scavenger hunt to find objects around the house that are about 2 inches long, or about 2 feet long, 4 centimeters or 4 meters. Talk about what unit is most appropriate for measuring short items or long items (Would you measure a football field in inches? Why not?)
