The Home Resource Folder went home today. It is this year's version of Homework! Let me know in your child's agenda if it didn't make it home to you tonight...I will make sure it gets to you tomorrow! Here is a copy of the letter describing its contents. This letter is in the front flap of the folder, on the backside of the Portable Word Wall.
Dear
Parents,
Today,
your child has brought home the Home
Resource Folder. This blue folder is to stay home all year. It is meant to
provide you with ideas and resources for Language and Math activities done at
home. Here is an outline of what is included in the folder:
·
Portable Word Wall: On the back of this
sheet is a list of all the grade 3 Word
Wall Words. Each week, I will assign
5 new words from this wall. I suggest
that your child highlights the new words each week on the wall. A list of various activities your child can do with these
words is also included in this folder (Spelling
Activities).
·
How to Choose “Just Right”
Books gives your child a guideline of how to choose
books at a level to match his or her reading abilities. When I Read provides a
review of good fix-up strategies to use when encountering challenging words.
·
The
Self-Selected Reading Log sheet as
well as the sheet Understanding
Non-Fiction and Fiction sheets are a
great resource to help with your child’s reading comprehension. The questions
on the Log sheet will encourage your
child to use reading comprehension strategies such as inferencing, visualizing
and synthesizing.
·
The
Math sheet gives the students a list
of key words used in addition and subtraction problems. It also has a hundreds
chart. The students are encouraged to practise counting by 2’s, 5’s, 10’s &
25’s up to 200.
Hope this resource is helpful!
J. Wills
