In grade 3, students are expected to read for 20 minutes each evening.
Students should be practising the words they receive each Friday. These are their Word Study words and are related to our units of study. Please work with your child to practise these words.
Each week students will be expected to hand in one of the following assignments. The assignments will be decided on by the class as a whole. Students can complete their assignments on the computer using Word, Google Docs, PowerPoint Presentation or any other program they would like to use. Homework can also be handed in as a paper copy.
This week students may do one of the following for homework. We are encouraging students to do their homework in their own words other than reproducing work.
1) Write a book report which includes the title, the author, and a recommendation (reason for why you like it or don't like it) about the book.
2) Interview a character in a book. Include at least 5 questions and answers.
3) Write 10 facts from a non-fiction book which you have read.
4) Take a character from a book and create a story or comic strip about that character.
5) Take a story and write it as a comic strip.
