Due Date: Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Dear Parents:
If you haven’t received a flyer about bringing an item for our class basket (sports theme), please ask your child about it. Our classroom contact person is Darcy May at Woodburnbowl@yahoo.com. Thank you to the family who donated a tennis racket! Donations need to be in by April 22!
Assignments:
Your brother or sister (IF you are an only child, you may write it for your mom or dad) is having a birthday. Your grandparents have asked for ideas for a present. Write a letter to your grandparents suggesting a gift your brother or sister might like. Before you start writing, think about what the gift could be. Think about why your younger brother or sister would like the gift. Think about how your grandparents can locate this gift. Now write a letter to your grandparents suggesting a birthday gift for your younger brother or sister.
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: Language arts homework, “So Many Ideas” 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.
Don’t forget to help your child to remember to read 30 minutes each evening 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 written in.
Math: The homework packet has a practice sheet that has similar questions to the math state assessment.
