HOMEWORK
Third Grade Homework
Third grade homework this year will consist of reading, spelling and math fluency practice. Your child will bring home a reading calendar each week. On that calendar your child will need to keep track of the minutes they have read and answer questions about their book for that week. The questions that the students will be answering will change weekly depending on what strategies we are working on in class. If your child reads more than one book in a week they may pick which book they will answer the questions for.
Also on Mondays your child will bring home their spelling list. The spelling list will have 20 words in which your child will be tested over each Friday. We recommend studying the words for 5-10 minutes each night to ensure success on Friday! THIS WEEK OUR SPELLING WILL BE DONE IN CLASS. SPELLING WILL BEGIN COMING HOME ON SEPTEMBER 19.
In addition, your child will be bringing home rocket math on MOST days. Their rocket math will have the test that they took that day attached will be the rocket math that they are working on to meet their goal. On the back of the reading calendar you will find a check off for practicing their math fact fluency daily.
Book Shares will also be a part of your child’s homework responsibility. Book Shares will be assigned each trimester. The first one will come home at the end of September with detailed directions.
