Your child should write homework assignments (and specials schedule) in
his/her planner
each day. It is your child's responsibility to go over these assignments
with you AND to have the
planner signed each night.
Every day:
* Read for at least 15-20 minutes.
* Practice basic math facts- addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division.
- Please do not focus on multiplication/division until
addition/subtraction have been mastered.
* Check and have planner signed (even on Fridays).
* Check Take-Home Folder
* Do at least one chore around your house.
*** Look at one website from Miss La Vine's webpage (or any East Side page) and try a new educational
game.
Typically:
- Math review/practice of skills learned in class almost every night
- Language Arts practice/review of skills 2-3 times per week (sometimes a
packet which will have a
due date)
- Social Studies/Science/Health- given as needed
- Monday- Behavior Folder. This must be signed and returned the next day.
Communication from the school will go home on Mondays as well
(PTA/Foundation, Administration, Field Trips,etc.)
- Friday- Letters Home. Your child will write a letter to you about each
week's events in school (using proper friendly letter format). Parents are
to give a written response IN CURSIVE each weekend. This will be due each
Monday. Your child will begin to write to you in cursive as he/she is ready
(this could be many weeks or by the second half of the school year).
* This is an excellent keepsake to chronicle your child's third grade
experience. It is also a wonderful tool to keep parents "in the loop" as to
what is happening in school.
