Third+Grade+Policies

Third Grade Policies Third graders will have approximately 30-45 minutes of homework Monday through Thursday. In addition to written homework, your third grade child should read 20 minutes or more on a daily basis. Reading as a part of homework can count towards nightly reading time. Each missed assignment will be recorded in the assignment book and a pink slip will be sent home to be signed and returned with the completed homework the following day. After the first missed assignment, each missed assignment will lower the homework grade by 10 points (math and homeroom subjects are considered separate subjects in relation to pink slips). Three missed assignments in one quarter in either area (math or homeroom) will result in a letter home from Mrs. Wood. Misspelled Words from current and past spelling tests, as well as capitalization and punctuation errors, result in a deduction of 2 points each off of written work (maximum deduction is 10 points with the exception of spelling tests, states/capitals tests, and other assignments in which spelling is emphasized). Messy work will be redone. A: 90-100 B: 80-89 C: 70-79 F: Below 70 Classwork and test grades are weighted equally. Homework – A single grade is assigned for homework in each subject. This grade is based on completion, not accuracy. Literacy: Comprehension Grammar/Vocabulary Spelling/Phonics Written Expression (numeric grade will not be assigned in this subject until the second quarter) Math: Computation Concepts Social Studies Science Bible
