and integrated tests given at completion of a unit
If
homework is not completed the day after it is assigned, the student must
go to work completion during recess to complete the assignment.
Check
your child’s agenda and STAR folder nightly. Both are valuable in
maintaining regular communication. Agendas should be signed nightly.
Be sure to check
your child’s STAR folder every Thursday for graded work, and important
information from school. Initialing the reflection sheet in the STAR folder
lets your child’s teacher know that you have seen and discussed
your child’s reflection and graded work with him/her.
Read with your child
every night. Discuss the selection, asking higher level questions.
Ask them about the main idea, details and have them summarize what they have read. They should be able to prove their answer by going back to the text. Even if they are in the middle of the book you can ask them these same questions on what they have read.
Improve reading
fluency by encouraging your child to read aloud with expression. Sometimes
reminding children to read groups of words rather than each word, one
by one, can help to speed things up. Remember, in order to be considered
on level, third graders are expected to read from third grade level selection
at a rate of 100 words per minute.
Look for real-life
opportunities to solve math problems.
Practice, practice,
practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts.
Write notes to your
child, and encourage him or her to write back. This is a great way to
improve written expression.
Help your child
establish a daily routine, including a time and place for homework, and
reading.
Keep teachers informed
of any changes in family situations -- new baby, job change, death of pet,
extended family illness, etc..
Help you child remember
that no toys should be brought to school.
Emphasize
good decision making and responsible choices.
