HOMEWORK FREQUENCY

Your child's most important homework is to enjoy being a child - play, discover a hobby, or spend time with family! Your child's job is also to build a love of reading and math! For this reason, I ask that your child read independently for 20 minutes and practice their math facts every night.

Reading aside, students may have various worksheets to reinforce concepts taught in school. Such worksheets are a review of class learning topics, and they should take no longer than 30 minutes of working time to complete. If your child is struggling to complete their work within the expected 30-40 minute time range on any given night, please stop them from working. Please write me a note or send an email detailing their struggles, and I will connect with them in school to reteach, reinforce, or further develop their understanding of the content! If you believe your child requires additional academic enrichment after school, please contact me so we can chat and come up with a plan.

PLANNERS & AGENDAS

In third grade, planners serve as a wonderful medium to write down nightly homework, reminders for long-term due dates, spirit days, and important events happening at school. Please check your student's planner nightly to stay up to date on such topics, and please encourage your child to do so as well once they get home! Planners will also make you aware of any upcoming tests, quizzes, and assessments.
