## Guided Practice — Our together time chart

You will make a small "together time" chart to show things you do with your family.

1. Draw a big rectangle and divide it into three boxes.
2. At the top, write: "Things we do together".
3. In the first box, draw and label one thing you do together, such as "We play."
4. In the second box, draw and label another activity, such as "We read." or "We talk."
5. In the third box, draw and label a quiet time together, such as "We walk." or "We eat."
6. Practise reading your chart aloud to an adult using full sentences, like "We play at home."

5. Draw a small heart or star next to that box on your chart.
