Due Date: Wednesday, June 8, 2011
Dear Parents:
Date to Remember:
Friday, June 10 Willamette Heritage Museum (Jason Lee House, Parsonage, and Boon House tours, one-room school house experience, Kalapuya Indian presentation/activities)—More information is on the Blog site.
Writing:
Write a paragraph/essay explaining to me why I should choose you to take care of our worm bin over the summer. Having a supportive parent, as one of your reasons is a positive! I have directions for the care of the animals. Please have your parent sign your paper if he/she can pick up the worm bin and bring it back in the fall. I will let you know if I choose you!
If you’re not interested in taking care of worms, or can’t, there is an alternative writing assignment. Write a paragraph/paper, convincing me to read one of the books that I read to you this year, to my class next year.
Each paragraph needs a topic sentence, 3-6 detail sentences, and a conclusion or a transition to the next paragraph. Always include an introduction and a conclusion in your papers. If you need an outline form, it’s on our Blog site.
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, “Caring for a Pet Hamster”. PLEASE feel free to help your child with it, even with some of the reading, if necessary.
Reading
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:
Practice multiplication math facts online. Use the link “Multiplication Quizzes”. Check your child’s progress. Print a copy of your child’s post-assessment quiz for him/her to turn in or write down the score and time your child got, if you don’t have a printer.
