Due Date: Wednesday, October 13, 2009
Assignments:
Family Writing:
Think about an exciting experience or event that you would like to share. Write a personal narrative about it. Consider creating a mood of suspense, humor, or fantasy. Tell what happened and how you felt.
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…What Next”, 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. That’s ok once in awhile!
Math:
*On Tuesday I sent home the arrays to finish. They should have been finished, cut up, and brought back to school in a plastic bag. They are needed for the games below. If your child returned them to me, they were returned today with the homework packet.
*I’m sending home 2 math games with instructions that we’ve been playing in school, “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 last week, “Cover 50” at least once a week.
