NEWS FROM GRADE 3

Number 1                                                     Room 104

Text Box:   Take Home Folders This newsletter is attached to your child’s take home folder.  The take home folder and a newsletter will be sent home on the first day of the week with corrected papers inside.  Please sign and date the folder each week and help your child remember to return the take home folder to school promptly. Text Box:   Reading Again this year we are using the Houghton Mifflin reading program at Winchester School.  During this week we will review the reading strategies and continue to assess the students.  Our first theme is called Off to Adventure.

 

 

 


 

  

 

Text Box: Homework   Ø      Tues.—Summer Souvenir Home Link Ø      Wed.—Math Home Link 1.2 Ø      Thurs--Math Home Link 1.3 Third graders should spend a few minutes reading each night.  Help your child choose a just right book.  If he/she misses more than 5 words on the page the book is too hard. I have given each child a green homework folder.  This pocket folder should be used to carry homework back and forth to school.  There is a number grid laminated to the front of the folder, a cursive handwriting chart inside, and a multiplication chart in on the back. Third graders should not need to spend more than 30 minutes a day on their homework.  Please let me know if the homework I send home with your child is taking more than 30 minutes to complete.
