Classroom Expectations:
As a class, we will brainstorm classroom rules and expectations to follow every day. These will be posted below when they are completed!
3rd Grade Homework Expectations:
ELA
Students are encouraged to read daily for at least 20 minutes.
Students greatly benefit from practicing their reading skills at home consistently! There will be an optional monthly reading log that will be turned in typically on the last Friday of the month. If students do complete the log, they will earn an incentive such as homework passes, free choice time, technology time, or having lunch in the classroom.
If you are having challenges at home with reading, please reach out to me and I would be happy to brainstorm solutions with you or offer suggestions for what to read.
Math
Four worksheets will be provided in a math packet at the start of the week. The worksheets can be turned in daily OR on their due date–the last day of the week (typically Friday). My hope is that providing worksheets at the beginning of the week allows for more flexibility for families. I understand that students other activities outside of school and things can come up! If there is a night where students are having difficulty with a worksheet, please INITIAL the corner of the worksheet or cirlce the problems so I know and I will review it with your child together in class. Homework assignments will be a review of previously-learned concepts, not concepts that we are currently studying in class.
Students will also be expected to practice their math facts for 5 minutes per night. This ensures continued growth and working towards multiplication/division fact fluency. Students can choose to do flashcards, use scrap paper to practice, or complete the optional fluency page provided within the weekly homework packet for practice.
Homework Reminders:
Find a work space at home that is distraction free.
Homework is expected to be taken home in your child's homework folder every week.
Homework is expected to be turned in on time and completed with a best effort.
I will reach out to families directly if your child has missed consecutive assignments.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns regarding homework!
