Homework and Long Term Projects

Second Grade: 
-Check your child's backpack for the new Red Hot Reader Spelling list and sentences.  The test is Friday, October 22nd.

Third Grade: 
-The Landform project is due Tuesday, October 12th.
  
-All of the third graders passed the X2 math facts and about half of the class passed the X3 and X4 facts.  2 minutes was long for such a short test.  As a third grade, we decided to test one more time on the X3 and X4 facts, and we have included the X5 facts.  If your child passed the first time, they will be asked to pass in 1 minute versus 2 minutes.  Thus, attached to the homework are practice sheets to help prepare for the tests.  These sheets are not required but are there to help the study process.  Children master the facts in many different ways...songs, games etc.  Have your child learn the facts any way that works.  The facts pages do not need to be turned in.  The FINAL for the X3, X4, and X5 facts (in 1 minute) is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 5.

Second and Third Grade: 
-The first Literature Circle Projects are due Wednesday, October 13th.  Please have your child bring his/her assignment and book to school on that day.
