May 9, 2013



Due Tuesday, May 14, 2013

  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 on the RAH folders.  Have your child work on Xtra Math or flashcards for a few minutes each day.  Mark your initials by Falcon Fast Facts on the RAH folder.

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

Family Reading/Writing:  Read the Scholastic News on the Giant Squid.  Complete the back page.  If you have the internet, read from the National Geographic Kids about the giant squid:  http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/giant-squid/Fill in a graphic organizer about what you’ve learned.  The topics could be:  Why people are so excited about giant squids right now, how one was found recently (the hunt), why they’re so mysterious, characteristics, or their food and how they eat.  Choose 2 or 3 topics to put into your graphic organizer. Include 3 details about each one.  All you need to turn in this week is the graphic organizer and your completed Scholastic News.

          Scholastic Book orders are due this month on May 24th.  Online is the only way to order books. It is the last book order of the year!
