Due Date: Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Assignments:
Family Writing: We’re going to do this again!!! After reading a short story (this should be recorded for your RAH minutes!), write a short summary, using the outline on the back of the parent letter. Proofread it and fix it!
Reading: “Problem Solved” (3rd grade reading level) and “Only Owls” (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:
* Front and back worksheet on telling time.
*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!
*Practice the math vocabulary from the Blog site.
