Digital Format
I hope everyone is doing well! I miss you all so much!
Below are plans for the week of March 30th. In addition to posting them here in the blog, I will send out an email each morning with the assignments for the day.
Week of Monday, March 30th, 2020
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, especially password or login inquiries. I will try my best to help. Thank you for your patience as we navigate this new format together.
Google Classroom
All of our daily plans are also on your child’s Google Classroom account. To access Google Classroom, your child MUST first login to his/her school google account. Please use your child’s lunch card number for the email address, 200…..@appublicschools.com (Your child’s lunch card number will have 8 digits). Your child’s password is bekind19. Then access Google Classroom as they normally would for their weekly computer class. Instead of choosing the Technology “classroom”, they will choose Arno Third Grade.
If you haven’t yet, please like the Third Grade Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/Arno3rdGrade/
Please also LIKE “Arno Caring Cougars” on Facebook to receive additional info and participate in some fun things Mr. Zielinski has planned.
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 throughout the week.
Assigned spelling words will be assessed this Thursday. Words are listed below on Our Focus Wall.
Vocabulary and Reading Practice (MSTEP Prep)
Due to our school closure, the Department of Education will be waiving this year’s M-STEP test! However, we will still do the vocabulary words and reading packet since it is good practice.
Below is the new word list. 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 Thursday, April 2nd. Practice assignments are set up in SpellingCity to help students prepare throughout the week.
Third Grade Tier 2 Vocabulary Words Week 17
This packet is great reading practice. Your child’s weekly homework will include M-STEP practice packets. If your child earns an 80% or better on their M-STEP practice weekly homework, they will earn a charm towards their M-STEP charm necklace. This homework packet was sent home on Thursday and will be due back when we return to school.
Zoom Meeting
We will be “Zooming” on Wednesday, April 1st.
Please have your child write down 1 thing they found interesting about Tuesday’s (3/31) science video and he/she will share this information with the class on Zoom.
Zoom Meeting on Wednesday, 4/1/20.
