Due Date: Wednesday, October 6, 2009
Assignments:
Family Writing:
Try to use all of the spelling words from the preview list that I sent home on Tuesday (below, saw, something, thought, both) 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.
Keep building up the reading time for this month from 15 to 30 minutes each day. Don’t forget to help your child remember to bring the RAH (Read at Home) folder back to school each day. If you don’t have time to read one evening, please still sign the card with 0 minutes written in. That’s ok once in awhile!
Math:
Your child needs to continue working on memorizing the addition facts. Help with this would be appreciated. Soon I will be checking to see which facts your child still needs to work on.
* Math problems, similar to OAKS (state assessment), are in this packet to help students practice for the state math assessment.
*I’m sending home a game, “Cover 50” with instructions. Please play the game with your child several times a week to reinforce multiples in helping with multiplication and division.
