M-STEP Dates and Sample Questions

  • Third Grade will be taking the English Language Arts MSTEP on Wednesday, May 1st, and Thursday, May 2nd.
  • Third Grade will be taking the Math MSTEP on Wednesday, May 8th, and Thursday, May 9th.
If possible, please try to schedule appointments around these test dates. If this is not possible, your child will take the MSTEP with another teacher/staff member at Arno.
It is strongly recommended that you and your child explore the sample M STEP test questions together. These questions will help both parent and child get a glimpse of what M STEP questions are like. Students have viewed these questions at school but it never hurts to have extra practice.
Please click on the link below to access practice test questions.

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 the upcoming week:


Science

In Thursday’s Mystery students learned how the food we eat is a result of selection. In the activity students tasted different apples and identified the traits human beings have selected for.

Thank you to everyone who donated apples! We appreciated it!
