In third grade we begin using Planners on a daily basis. Each night parents should check their child's planner for daily homework assignments and important messages from school that day. Please be sure homework assignments have been completed and are put in backpacks before signing the planner. Table points are given for random planner checks. Any class work not completed during the school day is considered homework. This work should be returned the next school day. Spelling words, vocabulary words, memory work, and worksheets will be sent home as weekly homework packets. These assignments will be sent as e-mails. Homework assignments will be for Monday-Thursday and they are designed to reinforce classroom instruction. Unless otherwise stated, these weekly homework assignments are due on Friday morning.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It is not my intention for third graders to be overwhelmed with homework. This is the reason I give the assignments out early in the week and do not have them due until Friday morning. If you know you have a busy week ahead, you can plan accordingly and still have your child show responsibility with their
assignments.
