English Language Arts
In third grade we will use an anchor text for 2 weeks. In the first week, students will use the text to build vocabulary knowledge as well as utilize comprehension strategies to understand the text. Both vocabulary knowledge and understanding of the text will be assessed on the first Friday. The second week will focus on spelling, grammar, and writing skills. Spelling words and grammar will be assessed on the second Friday of our story. In addition, students will explore phonetic patterns each week. Please note that vocabulary words are listed in the graphic below.
**MSTEP Homework Packet**
This homework assignment was sent home Friday, December 22nd. Please stress the skills of reading the passages and looking back in the story to answer the questions. Thank you!

Guidelines for Cold Weather Gear
In an effort to keep our students safe and healthy, please plan to send your child to school with the following gear based on morning temperatures. Please keep in mind that we do have an outside recess in the morning when the temperatures are much chillier than later in the day.
Hot Cocoa Reading Challenge
We all know that reading is so very important. We are encouraging students to complete the marshmallow tasks, attach to the mug, decorate it, cut out, and return to your teacher by Tuesday, January 9th. All students who have completed 10 marshmallow tasks or 300 minutes of reading over the break will be awarded with a Swiss Miss hot cocoa in class. A hard copy was distributed to your child the week before break.
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:
Congratulations to Asher C. for mastering his multiplication and division facts! He has earned his Prodigy login information. Keep up the great work!
