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.

**MSTEP Homework Packet**

This homework assignment was sent home Thursday, February 8th. Please stress the skills of reading the passages and looking back in the story to answer the questions. Thank you!

MSTEP Homework Packet #9 due 2/15/24

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, 1 trophy in math, and 1 trophy in language arts. Trophies are earned by completing a Progress Check with 80% or higher. Students know how to check if they met their trophy goal.

Valentine’s Day

On Wednesday, February 14th, the third grade classes will be having a little celebration. Students may bring in valentine cards for their classroom.

Mrs. Guyot’s Class: 30 students
Mrs. Kalis’s Class: 30 students
Mrs. Warneck’s Class: 29 students

It is best to just have your child write his/her name on each card instead of including who the card is for. This makes for a speedier delivery in class.

We are also asking for donations of juice pouches and Krispy Kreme heart-shaped donuts. If you would be willing to donate either of these items, please click on the signup link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4EAAAC2EA4F94-valentines

Upcoming Field Trip

We are going on a field trip to the University of Michigan-Dearborn’s Environmental Interpretive Center. Students will report to Arno at 8:30am and will be transported via bus to and from this field trip. The permission slip has already been sent to parents/guardians via the ParentSquare app. Please see below for when your classroom will be attending the field trip.

Tues., Feb. 27th: Mrs. Kalis’s Class

Tues., Feb. 27th: Mrs. Warneck’s Class

Wed., Feb. 28th: Mrs. Guyot’s Class

Leave Arno at 8:40am

Program runs from 9:15-10:45am

Return to Arno around 11:10 am

*ALL CLASSES WILL EAT LUNCH AT SCHOOL*

During this field trip, we will be learning how to identify different types of trees, how to tap syrup from maple trees, and activities related to this experience.

If you would like to chaperone for this field trip, please let your child’s teacher know. Chaperones will be hiking outside in the woods with students and will need to provide their own transportation to and from this field trip. All chaperones need to have an approved background check on file with Allen Park Public Schools. Background checks must be turned in by 2/12/24 so central office has time to process them.
