the weather together. Describe your observations. Watch a meteorologist on tv together. Talk about
the key words he or she used to tell about the weather. Read books and poems
about the weather or seasons. Practice counting coins and bills. Talk about how
to write it in dollar and cent notation. Show different ways to make the same
value. Look for long o words in your
reading. Continue to read aloud to your child and have conversations about what
you read.
