Homework is given Monday through Thursday nights as a review and
reinforcement of the skills/concepts learned in school. Every student begins
the year with 100 points, but each time a homework assignment is missed,
three points are deducted from the child's points in whatever subject it may
be. This is done for every subject in the third grade curriculum. Homework
at this grade level should take the children 30 - 45 minutes. Some children
work more quickly and efficiently than others, so there does seem to be a
range with some children spending over an hour on homework. Please schedule a
conference if your child seems to be having difficulty with the homework
assignments. Sometimes the solution is changing the location to a more calm,
quiet area in the house with fewer distractions/interruptions.
