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**

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.
March is Reading Month! (MIRM)
This year to celebrate March is Reading Month, our entire school will be “reading around the world”, by reading books that take place on the various continents or books that teach us about each continent. In class, students will be keeping track of their “travels” in their own personal reading passport! Read around the world with us at home using the travel itinerary below! Each week, find a book about or from each of the continents listed below. 
Travel Itinerary
February 26-March 1: South America
March 2-8: Asia
March 11-14: Europe
March 18-22: Africa & Australia
Track Your “Travels” at Home!
Keep track of all of your reading at home using the attached map. For each book you read at home, color in a piece of a continent. Books do not have be from or about any specific continent to count. Use the attached reading log to record any reading your child does at home. Try to fill as many continents as possible before March 22! Students who return the completed map during the week of March 18-22 will get to take a picture with their map to be posted on the Arno Caring Cougar Facebook Page.
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.
