We will also be discussing the distinctions between state and local governments. Here are some activities you can do with your child to help reinforce the skills we’ll be practicing. Word Workout Words to Know: idioms You will make up a sentence that uses a list word, but you’ll leave out the word. Your child will fill in the blank in the sentence. Then you and your child will try to use every word in one sentence. Spelling/Phonics: inflectional endings You will make a list of these endings: -ier, -ies, ied, -ily, and -est.
