Continue the great work in reading with your child from 30 minutes
each day and recording it in their RAH folders.
In reading we’re working on predicting, determining the most important
events or details, sequencing, and retelling stories.
Math: Finish the arrays at home. Cut them out and place them in a container (zip
lock bag works great). Directions are
attached. Have child practice telling
you the product of the arrays. Bring the
arrays back in a plastic bag by next Tuesday.
Be sure your child’s name is on the bag.
I’ll send them back home next week with some games.
If you don’t have computer access
for you child, please work on flashcard practice. Second graders need to know their addition
facts through 10 + 10 (or 20’s) and subtraction facts through 20’s. Third graders need to know addition,
subtraction, and multiplication facts through 10’s (11’s and 12’s would be
nice, too!)
Please continue to have your child
use Xtra Math and SumDog. If you need the passwords, please let me
know.
Family
Writing: Write something in which you are thankful for about your family or the
world around you. Give examples and
explain further. You can add your own
voice to it, by including your feelings into the paragraph. Include a
beginning, middle, and ending.
Please use
the graphic organizer to think through the paragraph before beginning your
draft on notebook paper. Skip lines on
the notebook paper, so there is room to revise and edit the story. If the first draft is neat, a final copy is
not necessary.
Family
writing is always due the Tuesday after it is assigned, the event or holiday
story is due Tuesday, November 13, 2012.
In
social studies we’re learning about geography.
Be sure your child knows his/her street number and address. …phone
numbers, too! Show your child a map
while you are traveling, and help him/her find locations and roads you’re
traveling.
