Mrs. Hennessy’s Classroom Notes Room 14
Welcome to Third Grade!! This is an exciting year for all of us. Third grade has many new and exciting things to learn.
Homework The children will receive homework each night. Homework is due the following day. Late slips will be issued for any homework not turned in on time. This slip should be signed by a parent and returned with the completed assignment the following day.
Classroom Expectations Our classroom has discussed the rules of the classroom. Each child receives 5 tickets at the beginning of the week. When a rule is broken a verbal warning is given. If the rule continues to be broken the student will hand in one ticket. At the end of the week all tickets are put into a can for a drawing at the end of each month. The name that is drawn will win a homework pass, anew book or a gift card to the book store. It is my intent to foster a learning environment which is safe, secure and fair for all children. Raise hands Take turns Listen and follow directions Inside voices Use kind words Be ready Best effort Hands, feet and objects to self Proper use of materials Keep your eyes on your own work
Reading Logs At the beginning of the month your child will be bringing home a reading log. The signed reading log should be returned the last day of the month. Your child should be reading for at least 20 minutes 5 -7 nights weekly.
Take Home Folders Your child’s work will be sent home nightly. Please review any graded papers with your child. Also, look for important notes and assignments which need to corrected. If your child is bringing home a REDO assignment, please help them correct the assignment and sign the form. Please review, sign and return any social studies or science test which your child brings home.
