Homework

Homework:

Third grade is a very important transitional year for students. They are moving from the primary grades to the intermediate grades. There will be greater responsibilities and greater expectations. But, we will be by their side to guide them along the way. This will be a fun year!


Your third grader may have assigned homework Monday-Friday. Class time for work is provided, but often work may need to be finished at home. We feel that homework assignments reinforce and enrich classroom learning, and help students develop self-discipline, responsibility, time-management, and organizational skills.


3rd Grade Homework Responsibilities include:


- Writing daily assignments neatly in the assignment notebook.

- Check off assignments as they are completed.

- Taking home any work not completed in class in their homework folder.

- Completing homework at home and returning to school the following day.

- Having a parent initial assignment notebook each evening.



Daily homework in third grade may consist of:


- Any assignments not completed during class time or study hall (may include

language arts, spelling, math, social studies, or science)

- Daily math fact review

- Studing for a test (spelling, science, reading, math, or reilgion)

- Independent reading time


Failure to turn homework in on time will result in being clipped down on the behavior chart, and a 10% drop in that assignments grade per day. The student will then sit in during recess/recesses until the assignment is complete.

After 5 late assignments in a quarter the student will receive a detention. When a student has an excused absence they have 2 days to make up work and turn it in. If they are ill they should call and let the office know with whom I may send homework home. When you know of an absence ahead of time please inform me so I can send work home before the absence.

With your support at home, your third grader will have a successful experience in third grade!
