Homework

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.

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
 - Thursday- Behavior Folder.  This must be signed and returned the next day.  Communication from 
the school will go home on Thursdays 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.
