Field trip to Magness Tree Farm in Wilsonville is coming up on October 16. Permission slips were sent home last week. Be sure to send it back with your child!
Assignments:
Family Writing:
Think about an exciting experience or event that you would like to share. Write a personal narrative about it. Consider creating a mood of suspense, humor, or fantasy. Tell what happened and how you felt.
Writing together encourages your child to see you having fun with writing, and allows you an opportunity to spend time with your child while he/she learns.
Literacy:
Language arts homework, “One Tent…What Next”, is similar in format and skills to the Oregon third grade reading assessment. It will benefit your child greatly to complete it each week. PLEASE feel free to help your child with it, even on some of the reading, if necessary.
Read 30 minutes at home each day. The bookmark needs to be filled out and returned.
Extra Things with Different Due Dates:
Math:
Your child needs to continue working on memorizing the addition facts and begin working on subtraction facts.
*A few students are still weak in counting money. Help at home with real money would be helpful.
*I’m sending home a math game, “Close to 100”, with directions. Please play this often at home. It will take a lot of practice! Using a 100 chart could be helpful in adding.
*Continue playing the math game I sent home. “Plus-Minus-Stay the Same” at least once a week.
*Spelling review sheet, for unit 3, was sent home on Wednesday (I forgot to send it home on Tuesday! Sorry!!!). It was due on Thursday, October 9. Spelling words to practice are being sent home next Tuesday.
