Questions to Ask your Kinder:
What are some ways we can break apart the number 10? How many ways can you find?
Why has the dad gone to Wild Island in the chapter book My Father’s Dragon? How does the boy trick all the animals? Why are all the animals suspicious?
What is your favorite type of weather?
What does it mean if a word has a bonus letter (floss, moss, puff)?
