Story time
The paragraph path
Every adventure needs a path. A paragraph is a path of sentences that go to ONE treasure idea.
Parent says
Look at the stepping stones in the picture. “Each stone is a sentence. Together they make one journey — one main idea.”
Literacy + picture
Build a 4-sentence paragraph
Topic → detail → detail → wrap-up. Draw a tiny icon for each sentence first — then write.
1 Draw the main idea as a simple picture
2 Say 4 sentences out loud
3 Write them under the drawings
Phonics
Vowel teams this week (ai/ay). Picture mnemonic: snail for /ā/ — decode first, then check meaning with the picture.

Team treasure
On a real adventure, friends take turns. Waiting is hard. Waiting is also strength.
EQ practice
Play a 2-minute turn-taking game. Coach the words: “Your turn / my turn.” Celebrate calm waiting.
