Tonight your child will be coming home with their orange homework duotang!
For Term 1, we will be focusing on math practice and cursive writing. Inside your child’s duotang you will find:
- A weekly math sheet
- A cursive writing practice sheet
The math practice sheets will start out easy and get progressively harder. They cover math concepts throughout all of the strands of math in grade 3 that students will be learning about this year.
The cursive writing sheets are so students can learn how to form cursive letters correctly and then learn how to join letters together. I learned how to cursive write when I was in school but it is no longer in the curriculum so this is a great at home task to practice.
Homework duotangs will be going home on Mondays and are due back to school on Thursdays.
It is up to your child to find time at home to complete the assigned sheets. The sheets can be completed all in one day or night or can be spread out throughout the week – the choice is yours!
I believe that these homework duotangs will teach students to take initiative to complete a small amount of work at home each week which will help to prepare them for entering into the junior grades next year. I also believe that it will teach them responsibility because they have to bring back the completed work each week and hand it in to me. If at anytime something comes up and your child can not complete their homework duotangs, please send a note in the agenda or an email so I know ahead of time.
If you have any questions about the homework duotangs, please let me know!
Thanks for your support!
