Homework
Your child will be bringing home a folder each day in which any homework, graded work, or notes from school will be placed. Each student will also bring an agenda book where your child will be responsible for writing down his/her assignments. (I will have assignments written on the board; students will copy from there). If the assignment is finished at school, I will initial next to the completed item. If your child needs to finish the assignment at home, I will circle it. I then ask that you initial the agenda book when the work is complete.
Each day students will mark their behavior color in their agenda. If necessary, I will write why the card was turned. Please sign each week (next to the word Friday is fine) so that I know you have seen the behavior color.
In order to help keep students better organized, clean out the folder each day. (This should be the student’s job). This makes finding things much easier. When something needs to be returned to school, place it in the homework folder and I will get it to the proper place. (Paperwork, homework, lunch money, notes, etc.)
Students will have a weekly spelling test each Friday. Students should study for the test throughout the week. Students may use the website Spelling City for practice.
Students will be assigned a story from the basal reading book every week. On Tuesday and Thursday nights students will bring home his or her basal to read the story to someone at home. Reading to and talking with someone at home about the weekly story helps students with the reading comprehension test on Fridays. Reading also helps improve fluency which will help raise their reading level throughout third grade.
All assigned work during the day that is not completed at school will be sent home as homework.
Please initial any work in your child's agenda that is circled so I will know it has been completed.
