I am going to try to get back into posting homework and other things again!  I apologize for the extended absence with our team web site!

This week’s homework allows students to practice written responses to reading questions.  It also gives you an opportunity to see what students are expected to answer in third grade.  Please help to support your child with the homework.  We have been practicing written responses during reading time.  Our class continues to have difficulty with restating the question in the answer (Question:  What color is the dog?  Answer: The color of the dog is brown.) and going back into the story and finding story details/text to support their answers and then taking that text and placing it into their answer.  Please support your child with making complete answers that include story details to support his/her answers.  By midyear, students are expected to be able to do this on their own.

In addition, we are now in Unit 8 of the spelling program.  I have added additional activities for students to practice words.  You can access the activities by clicking on “Spelling Pilot Words” at the top of the page.

Homework Planner for Week of September 21, 2009

Please note!  Students should continue to practice addition facts until you receive a note home saying that they have met goal and can move on to the subtraction facts.

Have a great week!

Our spelling program pilot begins this week.  As with any pilot, there are bound to be some issues.  Your questions and feedback are encouraged so we can forward them to our reading and language arts consultant.

Homework Planner Week Beginning 2009-09-14

Tonight we will be playing catch-up on some cursive letters that we started but were not able to finish — l, h, t, k, u

Nightly spelling homework has changed just a bit.  In addition to studying muscle words, it is important for your child to study the missed words on the Unit 1 spelling pre-test.  I have uploaded spelling words to the SpellingCity.com web site.  Please click on the Spelling link at the top of the page.

Your child should continue to study addition math facts until I tell them to study subtraction.  At this point, there is only one student on subtraction facts.

Have a great night.

This week, students will set their own goals… one personal and one academic.  After writing a sentence or two, students will illustrate how they will accomplish the goal.  A copy of the homework is available.

Assignment:  Setting Goals

As always, students have reading for 20 minutes per night, math facts for five minutes per night, and muscle words for 5 minutes per night.
