Third Grade

The purpose of homework is to build positive study habits by engaging in short practice sessions at home. The assignments are designed to reinforce skills already learned.

A Homework Packet will be assigned each Friday and is due the following Thursday.

If there are questions, parents and students can use the Homework Hotline (Ms. Lucas 617-4849) to get quick answers.

Math Focus
There is an old saying, "If you want to learn something well, then teach it!" This is your child's chance to "show off" what he/she knows. Students will be bringing home some activities that reinforce the math skills that we are learning in school.

OPTIONAL: Here's a website that provides additional arithmetic practice:

Reading Assignments

Students should read for 15 minutes each evening. They may check out books from school or read books that they have at home. Sometimes it can be a shared reading time (the parent could read a story to the child). The goal is to build a love of reading - and to get everyone in the habit of reading each evening.

Spelling Choices
Choose an activity to help you study the words for a test on Friday. It's okay to do the same activity each night. Choose what works best for you - something that you can do in 10 minutes.

*Have someone give you a practice test
*Make flash cards and study them
*Sort the flash cards in alphabetical order
*Write each word three times - either by hand or computer
