READING
SKILLS This
week we are reading Anthony Reynoso : Born to Rope. Vocabulary words: dappled, exhibition, landscape business,
ranch, thousands. As you read together, have your child retell main ideas
and details from this personal narrative. The
test will be “open book” and we will also do our own personal narrative
paragraph as an additional assessment. MATH
SKILLS We will
finish telling time to the closest 5 minutes (and beyond) this week! You can
help at home by offering many opportunities to practice on an analog clock. Testing
on this skill will take place in the coming weeks as individual students are
ready. We will continue to practice
addition and subtraction of large numbers with regrouping every day. This will
include a graded assignment in each area – add or subtract- each week. Timed
tests on the basic facts ended long ago. Still, it is important to continue
working toward memorization of the facts if your child has not yet mastered
them. Religion: ch 18 We are Children of God test Wednesday Family Life: unit 1 God’s Gift of Family Please return parent

- Stations of the Cross 2:00 Uniform
reminder – Our spring/summer uniform does not start until April 1. So even if
the weather is predicted to be warm, the uniform is still long pants or a
jumper for the girls and long pants for the boys. No shorts, skorts, or scooter
skirts until April 1. A
few other guidelines: If
there are belt loops, there should be a belt in them. If
the socks don’t show above the shoes, change to higher socks. Thank you for your attendance at conferences. Now
that we are in the fourth quarter of the year, and almost in third grade, you
will notice that we pick up the pace quite a bit. Please supervise and assist
your child with homework and studying as needed. Mrs. Sortor and I will no
longer be checking the homework notebook. When in doubt, phone a friend or
check the web.
