Due Date: By Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Assignments:
*Family Writing: Write about the Heifer Project. Explain the importance of the project and how it will help people. Tell about what you are doing to help support our school effort in helping others in the world. Include 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, “History of Soccer”, 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.
Math:
* Math problems, similar to OAKS (state assessment), are in this packet to help students practice for the state math assessment.
*Your child needs to continue working on memorizing the addition and subtraction facts. I gave a quick assessment recently, and most students have slipped in their scores!
*Work on multiplication facts with flashcards at home.
Create:
Each year, Forest Ridge students create a “mailbox” to place their valentines. It’s a fun way to use recycled materials in a creative way for a purpose. Please do not have your child bring in their creation until February 10.
A class list is attached to the parent note for valentines. Please do not send the valentines to school until the 10th!
