Homework Explanations 2013
The purpose of our 3rd grade homework is to help students get into a routine of doing some school work nightly.
The homework can be done by the student independently, but parents are encouraged to help in any way. In
addition to this homework chart, students will also have a math worksheet that is due back with the homework
chart, please look for these and make sure your child completes them on time!
Reading: The expectation is that students will read for 20 minutes per day. Please record the book title and
minutes read each day on the line in the chart. Students must read an A.R. (Accelerated Reader) book that has
been checked out from the school library. You can also find A.R. books at the CDA Public Library in the Children’s
Section downstairs. Most books are A.R. books (We say most not all). If you go to our library page on the Winton
Website you can find a link at the very bottom of this page to look up books to see if they are A.R. A.R. is a
program that helps us track whether or not your child is reading. Every student is given a reading range based on a
computer test they take at the beginning of the year. Students must read books according to their individual A.R.
level. This has proven to help student progress in growth with their reading. Students will each have an individual
goal for A.R. points earned each week and what they should earn by each assigned date. Please check the bottom of
the homework chart for your child’s goal. When he or she has finished reading a book they take a test on the
computer at school. They must score an 80% or higher for the points to count. Please try and help them reach
their goals! Students that meet the A.R. goal for each month will be awarded a “Book-it” certificate which is good
for a personal pan pizza at Pizza Hut! Students have many opportunities to read their books in class, so the
books must travel to and from school daily. Please help remind your child to put the book in their backpack each
morning!
Math Facts: The homework expectation is that students practice the assigned math facts for a minimum of
5 minutes per night. Short, focused, and daily practice produces results. Please check the box on the
homework chart to show that you practiced your math facts for the day. The math facts will be tested weekly at
school. Examples of how to study include: Flashcards, internet sites, pencil and paper, etc. When referring to math
facts, 2+2=1
5+7=12
9-5=4 are examples of facts.
Spelling: In 3rd grade, students will have a spelling test every Friday. To help students succeed on spelling tests,
we have assigned homework on Mondays and Thursdays. The spelling homework must be attached to the
homework chart. The spelling homework can be completed in the following ways:
*Go to “spellingcity.com”-search for “Anna Williams”, click “find a list”, then click on the name of the list for the
week (example: short vowels). There are options to play a game, take a test, print out handwriting papers using the
words, and much more. Choose an activity to complete, print it out when finished, and attach to the homework
chart. Examples: *write the spelling words three times. *write the spelling words in ABC order *Write spelling
words in a sentence
Vocabulary: The expectation is to have a general idea of what each word means. The vocabulary can be found on
www.spellingcity.com as well!
