Due Tuesday, January 29

Dear Parents: 
            Continue the great work in reading with your child for 30 minutes each day and recording it in the RAH folder.  The first part this term in reading, we’re working on character qualities, point of view, cause and effect relationships, recounting stories, theme, moral and lesson, sequence of events, and compare and contrast.

            Math: Continue playing the array games a couple of times a week. 

          Falcon Fast Facts are now on the RAH folders.  Have your child work on Xtra Math or flashcards (These were sent home on Monday.) for a few minutes.  Mark your initials by Falcon Fast Facts on the RAH folder each day.

            Please continue to have your child use SumDog.  If you need the password for SumDog or Xtra Math, please let me know. 

       Family WritingWrite a letter to someone.  It could be a thank you note for a gift, or just a friendly letter.  There are 5 parts to a friendly letter (Heading—date, Greeting—Dear ________, Body—what you want to say-indenting paragraphs, Closing—Sincerely, Yours truly, Your friend, Love, and the Signature—your name.  Be sure you use “Friendly Letter” format!  I will return it with no marks on it, so it can be mailed or given to the person.  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.

Sincerely,
Ginny Ryan
