Students are expected to read for a minimum of one hour per week. It is important this reading is at his/her level or somewhat easy, not frustrating. Reading aloud is great to promote fluency. Talking or writing about what was read is important for comprehension. The purpose of homework in third grade is to establish good study habits, and to review skills learned in class. Developing good study habits now will serve your student well for years to come!

All 3rd graders are expected to have their multiplication and division facts MEMORIZED from the 0s to the 12s (up to 12 times 12) by the end of 3rd grade (beginning of 4th grade). We will begin working on multiplication in our 3rd math unit. It is essential that all students finish memorizing their addition and subtraction facts. Memorizing simple math facts makes more complex math tasks far easier for students.
