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. 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 31st.
Mystery Science: How long can people (and animals) survive in outer space?
This week, we learned how living in space can affect people’s and animals’ bodies. Students examined how Scott Kelly, a NASA astronaut who spent an entire year aboard the International Space Station, changed after being in space. Then they imagined how their own physical traits (height, strength, balance) might change after living in space.
You can support your child’s curiosity about space by watching a video together of a surprising phenomenon in space. Col. Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency demonstrates an answer to the question, “What happens when you wring out a wet cloth in space?”: https://safeyoutube.net/w/OFPd.
