LANGUAGE ARTS

Dear Orchard 2/3 Families,

Please see the enclosed fun packet materials for your child.  Each child has a manila folder with worksheets and a plastic bag with books. Please help protect the books by keeping them in the plastic bag when you are not using them.   When school resumes, please return all materials and classwork. We have a list of book assignments and the books can be identified by the purple dot on the back of the book. 

Our goal is to have your child engage in Language Arts activities for about 1 hour or more a day.  Some of the activities included will require adult supervision or assistance.  The breakdown could look something like this - 30 minutes of reading, a quick break, 20 minutes of writing, and 10 minutes of word work. 

Most of the activities provided are academic in nature.   We will be posting more hands-on activities and creative ideas soon. April is Poetry month and The 50th Celebration of Earth Day, so we have a lot to look forward to! 

Thank you for your patience.

2/3’s - Students reading and writing assignments vary.

Book bag – each student has a variety of books to choose from to read.  Feel free to supplement from your home library.  Students may complete their regular homework response sheet for these books.

Manila folder – All students are reading about animals and have a response sheet or crossword puzzle to complete. You may also find word work including blends, homophones, palindromes and proverbs. All students will be working on Dolch sight words (5 per week; see enclosed directions and materials).

If you have any questions, feel free to email, text or call us at

Valerie – 310-210-4990 and Lisa 831-227-9847.
