Your child has a planner this year!  This is how we will be keeping track of assignments.

District Policy
District policy and current research dictate about 10 minutes of homework per grade level each night, in addition to time spent reading. Therefore, 3rd graders should receive about 30 minutes per night, not including habitual reading. Homework should be reflective of what is being worked on in class.  If your child is spending significantly longer than this on a consistent basis, please discuss the situation with Ms. Holden.  I am here to help and support you at home too! : ) 

Weekly Homework
Read 20+ minutes per night. (Students may complete AR quizzes at home, but this is optional. They will have time to complete them in class)
Math: Home Connections (not everyday)
​Study for spelling tests/regional map testing.  Students will be given spelling words and then have two weeks to study the words.  Same is true for the regional map tests.  Third graders will be given a map that goes along with what we are studying in class.  We will provide a list of things to label along with a labeled and blank map for studying.  Students will have two weeks to practice at home before the test.  Dates will be listed in planner.
