Third grade is very young for these expectations.  I have my students start keeping an assignment notebook in 4th grade.  There are several of my 4th and 5th graders who struggle with this organizational piece.  For those children I make sure that they check in with me (or an aide or spec. ed teacher) each day before leaving. I double check that they have written down their assignments and that they have all of their materials.  Then they head straight to their back packs so nothing gets forgotten.
