Choose one thing you’d like to improve to make you a better student. Explain what that is and how you plan to improve it. 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. Reading: Language arts homework, “Soccer Blues” (3rd grade reading level) and “The Case of a Cat” (2nd grade reading level) are 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. I tried to give your child the story at the reading level that will benefit him/her the most. Keep reading 30 minutes each day. 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. That’s ok once in awhile! Math: *Word problem worksheet *Continue game I sent home last week with the place value cards. *Use Sumdog website. If you need your username and password, please ask me for it. * Go to: www.xtramath.org. Follow the directions on your XtraMath letter (in your packet last week). Practice 10-15 minutes each day! Only eleven students have participated in this. The feedback I’ve had from parents has been very positive! It’s such a great way to practice the math facts quickly!
