ACTIVITY #1

In Chapter 1, Jack tells Annie, “I’m just writing the facts. The stuff we know for sure.” Use this lesson to explore the differences between facts and opinions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ACTIVITY #2

Some words (like wind, lead, tear, close, and read) have multiple pronunciations—and multiple meanings—even though they are spelled exactly the same! Use the lesson “Can You Wind the Wind?” to use context clues to figure out the pronunciation and meaning of these words in different sentences.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ACTIVITY #3 

Several topics from this book lend themselves to a study of measurement. If you own a scale and sidewalk chalk, try out these two activities at home!
