Field trip to Magness Tree Farm in Wilsonville is coming up on October 16. I’ll be sending home a permission slip next week.
Assignments:
Family Writing:
Try to use all of the spelling words on the preview list (few, those, always, show, large) in a story that makes sense. Choose any topic. The story needs a beginning, middle, and ending. 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, “How to Pitch a Tent”, 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. I’ve asked him/her to memorize at least 3 a week. Ask which ones he/she is working on this week. We’ve worked on doubles, doubles plus 1, 2, and 3. Help with this would be appreciated.
*A few students are still week in counting money. Help at home with real money would be helpful.
*I’m sending home a math homework sheet on money that is due back tomorrow (Friday).
*Continue playing the math game I sent home. “Plus-Minus-Stay the Same”.
*Spelling review sheet, for unit 3, will be sent home next Tuesday. It will be due back on Wednesday, October 8.
