This homework program incorporates a differentiated approach with an understanding that homework should be meaningful and worthwhile. The time that your third grader spends on homework each day should enrich his or her learning, and help build a love of learning. Homework each night is not meant to exceed 30 minutes, including reading. Value Incentive built into the classroom Self motivated Organized Differentiated

16. In our classroom, we will be designating one area as our “Makerspace.” This part of the room will be where third graders will be able to tinker, create, build, and explore. Not sure that’s time well spent? Take a look at this list of benefits of Makerspaces… Allow for student intrinsic motivation and self-directed learning Support students in a natural connection of the 4 C’s of 21 st Century Learning: Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication, and Collaboration Immerse students in experiences that promote the idea of flow Provide students opportunities that allow them to fail in order to succeed Emphasize to students and teachers the importance of process over outcome Promote student literacy through writing, reflecting, and journaling while Making Allow students to see the importance and value of the arts Facilitate to students the idea of entrepreneurship through innovation Support student inquiry by relaying the importance of good questions and continued questioning
