Dear Parents: 
           
 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
Fill out the organizer form for the paragraph.  Everyone has jobs or chores. Tell the importance of one of these jobs or chores.  First, brainstorm the importance of one of these chores.  Then, go through your list and choose three really strong reasons why this chore is important.  Next, think what your topic is, and write a topic sentence.  Write a detail sentence about one of your brainstormed reasons.  Write another sentence about that same reason, backing up your answer with a specific example.  Do the same with the next two reasons.  Finally, write a concluding sentence.  You should have a total of 8 strong sentences.  Proofread your paper carefully.
