Holiday Reading Challenge
The weekly homework, that is due on Thursday, January 9th, is the Holiday Reading Challenge. Students are encouraged to read 20 minutes for each ornament. A copy of the homework is below.
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. Student understanding of the anchor text and vocabulary will be assessed on Fridays.
Students will also work on grammar and spelling throughout the week. Assigned spelling words will be assessed on Fridays.
MSTEP Prep
On Friday, third graders will bring home 10 M-STEP vocabulary words to study at home and an extra credit crossword puzzle. If students complete and return the extra credit crossword puzzle, they will earn 1 extra credit point on the quiz. On Fridays, the students will be quizzed on these words. In January, when your child earns 80% or better on Friday’s quiz, he/she will earn a charm for his/her M-STEP charm necklace. Students will be quizzed on Friday, January 10th.
Holiday Pictures
We had A LOT of fun during the last school week of 2019! We had a school sing-a-long, a French Fur Trader presentation, lots of dress up days, and matching socks!
