Read-to-Self - Students should be reading an appropriate book at their level for approximately 15 minutes each day. If they have time to read more, they are encouraged to do so.

Daily Writing Prompt - Students are asked to write as much as they possibly can and be creative with the topics given. This should take approximately 20 minutes. Today's writing prompt is:

What would happen if everything switched and kids were in charge of running the world? What would change?  What would stay the same?  Would things be better or worse—and why?

Word Work – I have attached additional blank copies of word work sheets for students to use. Students may choose 10 words from the book they are currently reading and use those for their weekly words. There are many different activities provided on the sheet that students may complete using those words. They should be doing this for approximately 15 minutes each day.

Dreamscape/Squiggle Park/Online Games –  I have included a page of links that gives students access to several online games covering topics that are often used in class, particularly with sight words, nouns, verbs, and adjectives for grade 3. Reminder that some of these may require making a free account or Flash Player. Students also have access to either Dreamscape or Squiggle Park. Also, for those playing Dreamscape that they must read the questions thoroughly before answering. If they do not know their username or password to either game, please email me and I will get them the information right away. They should be playing one of these for approximately 20 minutes each day.

Sight Words – For those students still working towards reading at level I, I have attached your sight words to practice. These can also be used as your word work words for the week. If you are struggling to remember which level you are reading at, please reach out to me and I am happy to help.
