Homework Folder





       Now that we have begun our first full week of school, your child will start receiving nightly and weekly homework.  Their green homework folder will be going back and forth between home and school each night.  There will be a Homework Chart sent home each and every Monday.  This chart will need to stay in students’ green homework folders throughout the week.   
        Third grade is a very important year to help support students into becoming more responsible individuals.  They will be transitioning from receiving weekly homework in second grade, to nightly homework in fourth grade.  Students will receive math homework on a daily basis.  Each day during school, students will write their math homework on their weekly Homework Chart.  The homework will be due the following day.  Students will also be asked to independently read 30 minutes each night of the school week.  This week in reading workshop, we are focusing student learning on writing written responses and reactions to the text.  Next week, there will be a written response component to your child’s homework that will also be completed nightly, and turned in the following school day.  Occasionally, there will be homework outside of reading and math.  This will be added to the Homework Chart as needed. Students’ first quarterly project description will be sent out sometime this week – be sure to look for the project description in students’ homework folders!
        On the third grade classroom website, there is a homework section that will be updated daily.  Also, be sure to continually check the classroom News Blog to be updated on classroom and school happenings. 
            As always, please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions!  Thank you so much for your support at home, I truly appreciate it!
