Due Date: By Wednesday, April 28, 2010
On Tuesday we went through one box of Kleenex! I’m afraid the colds/allergies are with us again. If you haven’t donated a box of Kleenex, lately, a donation would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you to the parents who have donated items for our “Fun Night” basket theme, “I Scream, You Scream”. If you still are planning on donating, donations are due by the 27th.
Assignments for this week:
I’ve added a link, “Discovery Student Center with Assignments” on our Blog site. Please have your child complete the “Animal” assignment on the site, if you have internet access.
*Family Writing:
Your brother or sister is having a birthday. Your grandparents have asked for ideas for a present. Write a letter to your grandparents suggesting a gift your brother or sister might like. Before you start writing, think about what the gift could be. Think about why your younger brother or sister would like the gift. Think about how your grandparents can locate this gift. Now write a letter to your grandparents suggesting a birthday gift for your younger brother or sister.
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, “Forest Mammals”, 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!
