Homework Homework is a necessary and integral part of the learning process.  The benefits of homework include the reinforcement of academic skills, as well as the development of student responsibility, self-discipline, and intellectual independence.   Students will receive homework almost every night. A typical night of homework will include studying spelling words, practicing math facts (addition/subtraction and multiplication/division fact families), and a math "Home Link". Additionally, I ask that students read at least 15 minutes per night.  What they read is entirely up to them.  The goal is to get students reading.  The more they enjoy what they are reading, the more they will read. Daily homework is due the day after it is assigned (unless otherwise specified).   Of course, students absent due to illness will be given the necessary time to make up missed assignments.   Students in third grade should be able to work up to 30-40 minutes per day.  Contact me immediately if your child is consistently spending an excessive amount of time on homework.  listes_A-J.doc.pdf   Spelling List (words only, no sentences)  Spelling_list_sentences.doc   Spelling list (sentences included) for practice at home.
