Homework for the Christmas Weekend

Hi Guys,

      Merry Christmas! The homework is quite simple, yet very important. The students have to do the corrections for their New Vocabulary Sentences in the HW Cycle books for both The Strongest One (p. 8 - 9 and 14 - 15) and Tara and Tiree (p. 6 - 7 and p.12 - 13). If there are any mistakes in the sentence, your child needs to write it twice. This includes forgetting a period or comma.

Have a great holiday,

Mr. Kuhel

Unit Test Tomorrow the 23rd

Hi Guys,

The unit test for Tara and Tiree is tomorrow. Please make sure your child reviews the story on p. 2 of the HW cycle book and ALL the vocabulary on p. 3. Also, they NEED to review the questions on p. 9. 

For the grammar section, the students will have to use adjectives with the following:

     1. The 1st Way: adjective plus-er than / the adjective plus-est in the world

Ex: My mom is tall. My dad is taller than my mom. Taipei 101 is the tallest thing in Taiwan.
Ex: My friend is crazy. I am crazier than my friend. My dog is the craziest animal in the world.

or
     2. The 2nd Way: more adjective than / the most adjective  in my family

Ex: My uncle is handsome. My dad is more handsome than my uncle. I am the most handsome boy in the world.
Ex. Disneyland is incredible. Ocean World is more incredible than Disneyland. My room is the most incredible place on Earth.

There will also be questions about Have / Has (for people and animals) vs. There is / There are (for places and things).

Ex: I have 3 highlighters. (I = a person)
      There are 3 highlighters in my pencil case.(a pencil case = a thing)

Confidence comes from preparation,

Mr. K

HW for Dec. 9th

Hi Guys,

     The homework for this weekend is to read the next story in Reading Street called Tara and Tiree. Make sure to highlight all the words you don't know in green.

There is also a fun family activity. For the wonderful 60th Anniversary of Xinmin, the whole 3rd grade is going to decorate our classrooms like Brazil. Class 301 is doing an introduction to Brazil. Class 302 is doing the Amazon Jungle. 303 is doing a traditional Brazilian Village, Finally 304 is decorating their classroom in honor of all the great Brazilian soccer teams.

For the traditional village, we have already made some art and colored drawings. Next, we are going to make traditional houses out of boxes. Your child should already have a good idea what the house looks like...but go to google images and you will have a better idea on how to decorate your box.

This is going to be a super fun family activity and I look forward to seeing the results.

Have a great weekend,

Mr. Kuhel

To give you a better idea of the "favela box" go to google images and search for "favela box art" and you will see many examples of beautiful work. Or just click on the link below.
