Weekly Homework
August 2018
Third graders should be doing approximately thirty minutes of homework a night. That does not include time spent getting a drink of water, petting the dog or trying to convince you they do not have homework! We have regularly scheduled homework Mondays through Thursdays. Any work students bring home that is not on the schedule is work that was not completed in class.

About Our Homework
Weekly homework sheets are passed out to the students and explained to them on Monday mornings. Math homework will always due the next day, and their purpose is to reinforce skills taught that day in school. Other assigments, such as spelling, are passed out on Mondays and are due later in the week. We discuss time management in class and the order in which assignments should be completed. For example, I tell the children that on Mondays, if you know your math is due the next day, do that first, then work on other assignments. If you have activities after school on Wednesdays, then make sure you work on your spelling homework on Mondays or Tuesdays because spelling homework is due Thursday. |
Multiplication Practice Sheets
Below are some optional, additional practice sheets students can use to practice math facts 2-9. They were created as homework, so you can disregard the "Due tomorrow" printed on the top of each one.
