Study Island Instructions:
First, sign into Study Island. Go to https://app.studyisland.com/cfw/login Most students know their username and password by heart now. It is username- studentnumber@az password-studentnumber. For example un- 00000@az p-00000. If they do not know it, please let me know. I can send it to you in a Dojo message.
Then, click on classes. Click on my name. Complete the assigned lessons for each day, listed above. Have your child complete any lessons that are "not started" or "in progress." Students can also retry any practice for which they did not earn a blue ribbon (any where they did not score 80% or greater). Sometimes the lesson will scaffold for them and they will be able to earn a silver ribbon with an easier practice then try again with grade level practice.
Winter Behavior Contract Renewal
Restrooms and Water:
Please remind students to use the restroom before school and during recess and lunch. When needed during class, students should use the ASL symbol for restroom and get teacher permission to leave the room. Please remind your child that they should use the restroom or get water then come immediately back to class. We have seen some students wandering or playing outside the classrooms. Please send your child with a personal water bottle labeled with their name. It must be tightly sealed and used appropriately. IT may ONLY contain water. Students may not get water from the fountain or refill water bottles during the lesson (when a teacher is talking), they must wait for lunch, recess, or independent work time when they are on-task and have completed work.
Transitioning Between Rooms:
Yale and NYU Third Grade Scholars have the challenge of quickly transitioning between classrooms, consistently following all rules and expectations, and keeping materials organized. Please remind your child that none of their personal belongings or papers should ever be kept in a desk. Please remind your child that behavior expectations extend to lining up and entering/exiting classrooms.
Toys, items from home, or electronic devices:
The classroom is a serious place for learning. Please check backpacks and keep all materials that are not related to our classroom work at home. If items at school become a distraction, they may be confiscated.
Please discuss the following expectations for conduct with your child.
|
Schoolwide Rules: P – Prepare for Learning A – Act Responsibly W – Work with Integrity S – Show Respect
Classroom Rules: Be Safe Be Respectful Be Responsible
|
Third Grade Essential Agreements: |
Please Return
I have reread the rules and expectations. I will follow PAWS expectations at school

Winter Break Homework
A great way to keep skills up during winter break is for your child to complete Study Island. Study Island covers the third grade Arizona standards and includes a lesson, flash cards, and practice.
We do Study Island in class together every Wednesday. We always cover two lessons. However, I have noticed some students are more on task than others with completing lessons. Students are expected to have completed all of the lessons that I have taught so far.
Luckily, Study Island can be done anywhere and it has great features such as reports with comparisons to other students so that you can see how your child is doing.
First, sign into Study Island. Go to https://app.studyisland.com/cfw/login Most students know their username and password by heart now. It is username- studentnumber@az password-studentnumber. For example un- 00000@az p-00000. If they do not know it, please let me know. I can send it to you in a Dojo message.
Then, click on classes. Click on my name. Have your child complete any lessons that are "not started" or "in progress." Students can also retry any practice for which they did not earn a blue ribbon (any where they did not score 80% or greater). Sometimes the lesson will scaffold for them and they will be able to earn a silver ribbon with an easier practice then try again with grade level practice.
Some students have far fewer completed than others due to focus in class and the speed at which they complete them. I have included some screenshots of the screens you might want to review with your child. Screenshots 1-13 are from the account of a student who has completed almost all assigned topics. Screenshots 14-19 are from the account of a student who has unfortunately completed very few topics, even though completing these practices is our primary activity every Wednesday. Please review with your child where they are at.
I realize some students will have more time to work on Study Island over winter break and others will have less. This homework is optional over break, but it is a good idea to check in with your child and see if they are completing their practice even if they don't catch up until they get back. Your child should have all assigned practice complete, even if they haven't earned blue ribbons for all topics.
For additional practice, students can also play Dreamscape, a fun game that reinforces reading skills much like Prodigy does for math skills. They have usernames and passwords, I can send your child's to you on Dojo if they have forgotten it. https://play.squigglepark.com/dreamscape/
Finally, please encourage your child to read as much as possible and to talk about what they have read. Ask them to retell the story, to give the main idea and important details of nonfiction text, to tell you the most important part, to tell you what message or theme they noticed in the story, etc.

Students should pick a book that takes them longer than one sitting to read (chapter books are great, but longer nonfiction books are also okay). I have books in my classroom library that students may check out [check outs are in the morning (arrival time), in the afternoon (3:08-4:00 when with me), or individually when students are done with work].
