English Language Arts
In third grade we will use an anchor text for 2 weeks. This week, students will focus on spelling, grammar, and writing skills. Spelling words will be assessed Thursday, December 21st. Please note that students are provided individualized spelling lists for their test. Groups are determined according to a pre-assessment which allows a student to work at his/her ability while also being challenged. Please see your child’s paper copy to determine their assigned word group. Activities are available on RAZ Kids (Vocabulary A to Z) to help your child practice their words independently.
**MSTEP Homework Packet**
This homework assignment was sent home Friday, December 15th. Please stress the skills of reading the passages and looking back in the story to answer the questions. Thank you!
MSTEP Homework Packet #3 due 12/21
**Edmentum**
Third grade’s focus is earning trophies as students navigate their individualized learning path. Students are encouraged to earn 2 trophies in the area of reading and 1 trophy in math. Trophies are earned by completing a Progress Check with 80% or higher. Students know how to check if they met their trophy goal.
Winter Celebration
On Friday, December 22nd, our classes will be enjoying a movie. We felt that popcorn and juice pouches would be a special treat as well. If you are able to provide any of the requested items, please sign up below. I am requesting that donated items be sent to school no later than Thursday, December 21st. If you are unable to click on a particular item, the item may no longer be needed. Thanks so much!

Parent Connect
Did you know…students can access their academic progress as well as any missing assignment info too (with your help)!
Please access your Parent Connect account, and your child’s Student Connection PIN and login are listed for you to share with them (see below). This will help build independence and instill a sense of ownership and responsibility for their own learning.
Students can login HERE. This link is also posted in our Google Classroom for convenience.
Reflex Math
Please remember that mastery of multiplication and division facts is the goal for the end of third grade. The report card will be marked accordingly. Students should be completing a session of ReflexMath daily. We try to fit it in during the school day, but this is not always possible. Please remind your child after school in case it hasn’t been completed yet for the day. So far, here are the classroom stats:
