Dear Families,
Welcome back to school!
Please find an outline of the nightly homework policy below.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday night: students will have homework
in one of the following areas: English Language Arts (may include Spelling,
Grammar, Science or Social Studies), Math, and English Language Arts with
Comprehension as a Focus (may include Science or Social Studies).
in one of the following areas: English Language Arts (may include Spelling,
Grammar, Science or Social Studies), Math, and English Language Arts with
Comprehension as a Focus (may include Science or Social Studies).
Once the spelling program (Fundations) is up and running
(around the week of September 28th), students will be expected to
prepare for a spelling quiz at the end of each unit.
Additionally, there will be times when an assignment may
need to be completed over the course of the week. The assignment will likely be given on a
Monday and will have a specified due date.
We will be checking your child’s homework each morning. At that time, students will receive a check
for completed homework. On Friday, when
students have 4 checks (one for each day), they will earn a credit. At the end of four weeks (4 credits, which
does not have to be consecutive) your child will earn a homework pass. This
pass can be used at any time throughout the year. Some students use it right away. Others like to save the pass for a later
date.
Please feel free to contact us with any further questions
regarding homework or otherwise. We look forward to an excellent learning year
with your child.
Sincerely,
The Third Grade Team
