Due Date: Wednesday, April 6, 2011
Dear Parents:
Please make sure your child completes ALL the assignments and returns them by Wednesday, April 6. Thank you!
Assignments:
Write a fiction story. Decide a setting (time, place), 2-3 characters (personalities, and what they want), a plot (problem/solution), and a resolution. Also include the climax of the story (the high point of the story, where the problem is FINALLY solved!) Do not write about cartoon or video characters!
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, “Volcanoes” 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.
