Due Date: Wednesday, November 3, 2010
Assignments:
Speech: Students need to be prepared with their character speeches on Friday. See last week’s parent letter or visit our classroom blog for more information.
Family Writing: Tell about a fun event or holiday that you have participated in. What made it fun? Describe one thing about that event or holiday.
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, “Smokey the Bear”, 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. 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.
Math:
* Math problems, similar to OAKS (state assessment), are in this packet to help students practice for the state math assessment.
*Continue playing the 2 math games that I’ve sent home, “Multiplication Pairs” and “Count and Compare”. Please play these often at home. It will take a lot of practice!
*Continue playing the math game I sent home, “Cover 50” at least once a week.
