Due Date: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 (Picture Day!)
If you didn’t have the opportunity to visit during the “Curriculum Night” (Parent Information Night), I put my presentation on the Blog. Remember the Blog and links are a resource to you as well as to your child. (http://forestridgec4.blogspot.com)
Thank you to the 10 families who worked with their child on last week’s family writing activity. You will see the gains your child makes in his/her writing!
Assignment:
Writing:
Write a thank you note to someone who recently did something nice for you. (I’ll return the letter without any marks on it, so you can give it to the person!) State your reason for writing the letter. Explain in detail what effect his/her action had. Let him/her know again how much you appreciated his/her efforts. 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, “One Tent, Lots of Stuff”, 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:
* 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. Help with this would be appreciated. Soon I will be checking to see which facts your child still needs to work on.
Your child should know his/her multiples of 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20), multiples of 3 (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30), multiples of 5 (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50), multiples of 10 (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100).
