Assignment Notebooks
Please check your child’s assignment notebook every night. The assignment notebook must be brought back to school each day.

Homework
Students in third grade should spend about thirty minutes involved in work related to school. Homework will be any class work that was not finished during the day. Homework may be an assignment in a subject area given by the classroom teacher. It may involve practice of a skill that was taught in class such as practicing spelling words or math facts. An occasional project may be assigned as homework. Parents are encouraged to ask about homework each day. You may check your child’s homework or help brainstorm ideas for projects, however, please encourage your child to complete the homework independently.
Each third grader should read for fifteen minutes every night of his/her third grade life! Reading in bed before the lights go out can be very relaxing.
