Homework Policy

Third-grade students are responsible for copying assigned homework daily from
the board into their green homework books. Please sign your child's homework
book each night, indicating that you have seen and checked the assignments.
If your child -- or you -- has any problem with the homework, please write a
note so that I can go over the work with him or her.

We will have a spelling test ABOUT every five school days. Every spelling
test will include the twenty new words studied and ten words from previous
lessons. This will help keep up spelling skills, ensure that our words are
used correctly in our writing, and make the end-of-year spelling test much
easier. (The challenge words will be included in the weekly test but will
not be used as review words.) I suggest that you keep a record of the words
your child gets incorrect on each test. Words that are frequently misspelled
by several students will keep showing up on future tests.

When there are absences, the homework will be posted here on the website under
"Homework and Missed Assignments." Homework is not regularly posted online,
as it is the student's responsibility to copy the homework assignments.
