T Star Homework Slips are weekly slips that track your child's independent progress with skill work-- reading, math & spelling. he good news about third grade is that the homework is very routine.

Homework Disclaimer: Students should be able to do most assignments independently, but feel free to help if it is necessary. If you notice that your child is not able to do an assignment on his or her own, or struggles with a certain section, please jot a note to me on the assignment~ I do not want homework to cause stress! I will contact you if your child is falling behind or turning in poor work. Homework may also include work that was not finished in class that day. The schedule is subject to change, especially with short weeks, field trips, etc. Please let me know if you have any questions. |
