Homework for April 15, 2010

Due Date: By Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Assignments for this week:

I’ve added a link, “Discovery Student Center with Assignments” on our Blog site. Please have your child complete the assignments on the site, if you have internet access.
*Family Writing:
Imagine that time travel to the past was possible. Think of where and when you would like to go for a visit. Write an essay telling where and when you would go in the past and explain why you choose to go there.
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, “Too Many Ideas”, 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. Ask your child to retell important parts of the story that were read that day.

Math:
* Math problems, similar to OAKS (state assessment), are in this packet to help students practice for the state math assessment.

*Work on multiplication facts with flashcards at home. Students should be working toward memorizing these. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9 should be the top priority! Let me know if you need flashcards!
