Homework-Third graders are expected to receive up to 30 minutes of homework per night. In our classroom, we will have a weekly packet due on Friday. Completing the packet is their ticket to Fun Friday. If they finish the packet before Friday, please make sure they are filling their homework time reading. We have set our Accelerated Reader goal at 2 books at their level per month, and they must meet these monthly as part of their Reading grade.
Discipline-Students are given warnings for talking, following directions, etc. If a third warning is given, a student receives an infraction. Three strikes, you're out. :(
Portfolio Use-Please check the Notes Home pocket nightly. Anything in the Homework pocket should be completed, placed in the correct subject pocket, and returned the next day. Please do not remove anything from the subject pockets. They are all needed for classroom use.
Friday Folders-Sent home every other Friday, papers inside are graded and recorded. This keeps you updated about your student's progress. Please keep the papers, but return the information sheet signed. Also, please be sure to go to Powerschool to check on your student's grades, as well!
Newsletters-A newsletter will be sent every Monday (HW packet) to keep you informed about the upcoming week. Please refer to it for upcoming tests, quizzes, and upcoming events.
