Homework Policy
Homework: Homework this year will consist of the 3 R’s:
- Reading: We strongly encourage reading nightly, as it is a necessity to continue reading success in third grade. Reading can be independent or co-reading with a parent or a sibling.
- Recitation:
- Math Homework: Students will have five (5) math problems coming home Monday through Thursday. Math homework will be due the following day. Students should also be working on their multiplication math facts.
- Spelling: A list of 15 spelling words will be coming home on Mondays. Our spelling test will be on Fridays.
- Recreation: Movement and exercise is a component of homework! We ask that your child engage in some form of exercise or physical activity on a nightly basis. The goal is to raise the heart rate and get moving!
Late Policy:
If your child does not complete and/or turn in homework or daily classroom assignments, they will be sent home. Students will be given one week to complete the missing assignments. No late work will be accepted after this point. Points will be deducted for late work. Thank you for your support and reinforcement with the late homework policy. If you have additional questions, please let your teacher know!
Extra Credit:
Any student that is unhappy with his/her test score can ask the teacher for an extra credit assignment boost a grade. Extra credit work should be turned in within one week of the test to receive credit.
