Halloween
Please have your child leave any masks and props at home. Also, the Halloween parade is at 10am. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate so we can parade outside!
Students do not need to bring their backpack on Halloween.
I am asking for plain donuts and apple flavored juiceboxes for a Halloween snack. Please click on the sign up link if you would like to donate either item. Thank You!

Writing Homework
All third graders have a required writing homework assignment. The theme of this writing is “Heroes Around Us.” Please help your child write a personal story about the theme and use the attached rubric as a guide. This story can be about a hero in their life (family member, coach, neighbor, etc…) or someone famous (sports star, community leader, etc…).Remember to have your child write the story, you may help, but he/she needs to do the actual writing.
The writing paper is included in this packet. Please have your child write the title of their writing on the top shorter line followed by his/her first name (Example: My Hero by Sue). Please do not include your child’s last name on the writing paper (for Reflections purposes). Your child should write their story on the longer lines below the title/first name line.
“Heroes Around Us” is also the theme for the Reflections contest this year. If your child would like to submit his/her writing for the Reflections contest, please sign and return the attached consent form. If your child participates in the Reflections contest, he/she will earn 2 extra credit points on this assignment.
This homework assignment is due by Thursday, November 1st.
English Language Arts
Every week your child will read an anchor text as well as a paired text. The anchor text is used to work on fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary skills and strategies. The paired text may be similar in theme and/or genre. This text will reinforce vocabulary usage.
Here is our Focus Wall for next week:
Math
Congratulations to Ava, Alyssa, Noah, Alaynna, Emerson, Charlotte, and Cole for earning 100% on their subtraction math test.
We will be starting multiplication in math this week.
Fire Safety Assembly
A BIG thank you to the Allen Park Fire Department for putting on a great fire safety assembly for our students!
Science
In science this week, students learned about friction (the force that slows you down on a playground slide) and investigated what materials slide best.
Vocabulary Segment on Announcements
Every morning, we watch the Arno News or Announcements. As a fun way for our Arno Cougars to learn vocabulary words, there is a vocabulary segment. The vocabulary segments feature staff, students, families, and community members. If you would like to make a vocabulary video, please email me and I will send you a word.
Motivational Mondays
On Mondays, there is a motivational segment on the announcements. Our class is in charge of recording the motivational segment. After our announcements, we watch a pre-selected motivational video from Mr. Zielinski. The motivational news segment and Mr. Zielinski’s videos are very inspiring!
