If your child is having a lot of trouble with the homework assignment, please write me a note to let me know.ĥ. Let your child do his/her own homework it can be checked to see that it's finished, but refrain from having them change answers to make them all correct. Pick a homework time and be consistent.Ĥ. Keep supplies handy: sharpened pencils, erasers, markers, crayons scissors, glue, ruler, etc.ģ. The same place every day is usually best.Ģ. Help your child find a quiet, well-lit area to work. The following are ways you can help your child with homework:ġ. If your child misses school, for any reason, I will collect all work in 'Missed Work Folders,' to be completed after your child returns. Please keep these sheets in this location for the week, as they will be needed Monday through Thursday evenings. Each Monday you will find the weekly spelling and vocabulary words in the front of your child’s folder and a math newsletter in the back of the Take Home folder. Your child will have reading, spelling and math homework on Monday through Thursday. Homework will begin in the first week of school.

Try to keep homework time as positive and stress-free as possible.Īlong with the assignments, your third grader should be engaged in 15 minutes of pleasurable reading each day, which they will be responsible for keeping track of in their reading log. If your child is confused, or is taking longer than 40 minutes to complete the assignment, please write me a note and attach it to the homework. Also, because it will always be 'a taste of what we did in class,' the skills and concepts needed to complete the homework should be familiar to your child.

Your child should be fairly independent in completing their homework, as I go over what is expected at the end of each day. Homework should take your third grader approximately 30 minutes each night to complete. Therefore, homework in third grade has two purposes: It provides an opportunity to establish good practices and it reinforces skills taught in class. The good habits your child establishes now will most likely carry on throughout their academic career. Homework is an important part of being in third grade.
