Due Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2011
Dear Parents:
Assignments:
Family Writing: Brainstorm all the reasons you can think of that explains why Forest Ridge is the best school to attend. Go through your list and choose three really strong reasons. Think what your topic is, and write a topic sentence. Write a detail sentence about one of your brainstormed reasons. Write another sentence about that same reason, backing up your answer with a specific example. Do the same with the next two reasons. Write a concluding sentence. You should have a total of 8 strong sentences. Proofread your paper carefully.
Working and 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 and Math:
We’re skipping the regular reading and math assignments this week. Instead I would like for you and your child to spend some time going over the math vocabulary on our website (http://forestridge.salkeiz.k12.or.us/). There is a game posted for you to play with your child. Students do not need to know the averages, mean, mode, and median.
Don’t forget to help your child to remember to read and 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.
