Third graders are assigned approximately 30- 45 minutes of homework every school day except on Fridays. We fill in a Homework Planner in class before the end of each day (except on Friday). On the back of this planner is a reading log, which your child needs to fill in daily and have a parent sign or initial it. It needs to be turned in on Friday. The following is a list of the usual daily homework assignments. Occasionally, long term projects will be assigned as well, which your child will write on the homework planner. An estimate of the time needed for an average third grade student to complete each assignment is in parentheses: Math Practice (10 - 20 minutes) SpellingPractice (5 minutes) Independent Reading (20 minutes)
