Your child is expected to copy whatever assignments apply to them AND ALL of the reminders EVERYDAY. They may not pick and choose what they copy into the assignment book. Please encourage your child to check their backpack BEFORE they leave the classroom at the end of the day. We go to our special and do not return to the classroom after that. The students should each have at least one phone number for someone in the class that they can call if they forget a book. They can even call friends from other third grade classes if all else fails. No one is excused from having their assignments because they "forgot their book". Please continue to check your child's assignment book for important reminders. Parents should sign the assignment book each night AFTER THEY CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WORK IS COMPLETE. PLEASE DO NOT SIGN AN ASSIGNMENT BOOK WITHOUT CHECKING TO SEE THAT THE HOMEWORK IS COMPLETED. Homework should take no longer than 30 minutes. It is always something that we have worked on in class. If you have a problem at home, please let me know and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
