13. Third grade is a BIG jump for students and sometimes it can be a difficult for
both parents & students especially, when it comes to the amount of
homework. DO NOT WORRY!! Plus this year, I will be sending home TWO PARENT HOMEWORK PASSES!! I understand life….. We all have one
Homework is being reduced this year. Spelling practice will be worked on each day throughout the week. Students will just need to review at home a few nights.. No reading logs. I prefer reading passages with comprehension questions. This allows me to see what your child is understanding.
Students should not being spending more than 30 minutes on homework each evening. Please contact me if you are spending more than the allotted time. We will discuss strategies and reduced problems, if need be.

14. It is the student’s responsibility to show you their agenda everyday, but since you know it’s coming home every night, please help remind him/her to show it to you until you think he/she can remember to show it to you without you asking.
