Homework
Homework this year will consist of a daily 20 minutes of reading. Students will be bringing home a reading log in their go-home folders. This reading log should be signed by parents and minutes read recorded weekly.
Spelling practice at home will be crucial to your child's spelling mastery this year. Words for the following week are sent home every Monday. We have a spelling test over these words on Friday. Your child can practice these words with fun games online through a website called spellingcity.com. Check out the "links" tab on this website. I update the spelling words in spelling city every week so that the link only includes games with the current spelling words for the week.
Math fact practice at home will also be crucial this year. This is the first year that students will be learning multiplication and division. They need to be fluent in their facts by the end of the year. I will be sending flash cards home for daily practice. Students will also be able to access IXL for practice with all third grade skills.
Unfinished classwork is something that students are responsible for bringing home and finishing as homework. Students are given a lot of time to work in class, but sometimes need the extra time at home to complete an assignment.
