Assignments:
Family Writing--Tell what your Halloween was like by writing a short personal narrative. You might describe some of the things you observed with your senses (taste, sight, smell, feel, hear). You can add your own voice to it, by including your feelings into the paragraph. Be sure you have 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.
Be sure your child writes on the topic and turns it in this week!!
Literacy:
Language arts homework, “Planting Dreams”, 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 earlier, “Cover 50” at least once a week.
