Math: This nine weeks we are focusing on memorizing all of the addition facts. This year all 3rd graders will be keeping all homework assignments in their new Planner notebook. Please check this planner each night for special notes and daily assignments, also sign it each night. They will also have a red "Homework" folder in shich to carry worksheets, letters and notices. Your child will take their planner and Homework folder home each night, and need to return them signed the next school day. Being responsible is an important goal in third grade, and the Homework folder and planner is an effective method of communication between the teacher, student, and parent. The student is responsible for writing down each homework assignment from the board in class, putting it in their backpack, and returning it to school the next day. If a student forgets their Homework folder or planner, please DO NOT bring it up to school unless I call and request it. Library books are due on Wednesday at 8:00 AM. Spelling list given every Monday. If Monday is a holiday, the list will be given the Friday before the Monday off. The spelling test will be given the Friday after the Monday Holiday. All addition and subtraction facts should be memorized by this time of the school year. This will help the children complete problems quickly and correctly. Read, read, read!
