Homework

I am using the Weekend Adventure as an assessment this week, so don't be surprised when your third grader comes home without it. In its place, our word wizards should complete the crossword puzzle using homophones we have learned so far in third grade.

Homophones are sets of words that sound the same, but are spelled differently and have different meanings. For example, right and write are homophones. I expect third grade writers to spell 'right,' when they are referring to something that is correct or to the direction. Alternatively, I expect them to spell 'write' when they describe what they do with a pencil.

You can find a list of the homophones we have learned so far on our website.
