HOMEWORK/PROJECTS
Grade 3 Homework
1- Kids should read 20-30 minutes four times a week. Parents should sign at the end of each week to confirm that the reading was completed.
2- Students should be completing at least 45 minutes of Dreambox each week with a goal of 5 lessons.
(*Coming Soon) 3- Students will complete 2-3 Home Connections pages a week for math
What does reading at home look like?
-Chapter books, challenging picture books, newspaper articles, magazines, instructional manuals - you name it! If your child is engaging in meaningful reading, we love it!
-Read with your child. Nightly reading (either taking turns or parents reading aloud) in a novel that may be a little above your student's reading level counts as reading minutes. This will expose your child to more complex plots, character development and literary devices. Plus, it opens up opportunities for conversations about the novel.
-Encourage your child to read to a younger sibling, neighbor or even a pet! When a student reads a book that is easier for them, they are still practicing their speed, fluency and expression. This kind of reading can be counted for one of their four expected weekly reading times.
-Students should be excited about what they are reading. Please let me know if your child needs help finding an engaging book. There are so many options both here at school and at the Paul Pratt Library.
