February 28, 2013


Due Tuesday, March 5, 2013
Parents,
          Don’t forget tomorrow is book character dress up day!  We’re dressing up to celebrate Read Across America Day (Also, Dr. Seuss’s birthday).  Their book needs to be in their hands for the parade through our school.
           
 Continue reading with your child for 30 minutes each day and recording it in the RAH folder.  In reading we are reading non-fiction, informational texts, learning about main idea and supporting details. 

          Falcon Fast Facts are now on the RAH folders.  Have your child work on Xtra Math or flashcards 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 Writing

  1. Use your graphic organizer to write your topic (Character Dress Up Day) in the oval.
  2. In the top rectangle write a topic sentence about your character. (Example:  Charlotte, in the book, Charlotte’s Web is a unique spider.)
  3. Write 6 things and any details about those things you know about your character in the rectangles around the oval.
  4. Write a conclusion (example:  That’s why I think Charlotte was the best character for me to dress up as on “Read Across America Day”.) in the bottom rectangle.
  5. Put your graphic organizer to use by building sentences from your graphic organizer and write them on notebook paper.  Indent to begin your paragraph.  Write one sentence after the other.  Don’t forget your topic sentence and conclusion!

Sincerely,
Ginny Ryan
