No homework! Enjoy a fun-filled, relaxing last week of school. 🎉🎈
Please make sure you are in 3rd grade section of IXL. Clicking on the title of the IXL should take you to the assignment, but you will still have to log in using your username and password.Â
PLEASE ONLY DO THE IXL THAT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO YOU.Â
I check the dates when an IXL was done. If you did it much earlier than when it was assigned by me, please redo it. ANYTHING DONE BEFORE THE START OF SCHOOL DOESN'T SHOW UP FOR ME SO IT MAY LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE DONE THE WORK, BUT IT SHOWS UP AS ZERO FOR ME. Redoing it will also help you practice your skills more.Â
NOTE:Â
In 4th quarter, I do not accept any late work. No grade is updated after the due date.
I would highly encourage the students to start working on their homework early so that if they do have questions, they have time to ask me.Â

The homework is due on the date mentioned above by 5pm. Grades are entered on 10 point system. So if a student scored 90, it will be entered as 9/10 in quickschools. Grading is done based on 10-point system. If you get 100% score in IXL, Quick school will show it as 10/10. If you get 76%, it is 7.6 in Quickschools. I would highly recommend starting early. This is in case you get stuck, you can ask me in class. I encourage you to ask me in class if you have any problems or difficulties in the IXL assigned.
Please keep in mind that we may do some IXL as classwork at school. If the student is not able to finish then it becomes HW which is due the next morning.
The quiz will be on Friday. Spelling and vocabulary are separate quizzes. All the information including the words list and practice links will be posted here.

MAY 11 - 15, 2026
Story: None this week
Grammar: None this week
Our focus has shifted a little where the students were no longer copying down answers in Know It, Show It. Rather we would discuss a question, and then I would give students a minute to write down whatever notes they wanted to write down. I no longer write down for them to copy. The students are allowed to use their notes in Know It, Show It. MyBook and KISI (p. 170, 173, and 174) were sent home on Friday. If the students have any questions, they may ask on Monday.
During the test the students will have access to their myBook (and any notes they took in it). It is an OPEN BOOK test. A review packet to help review for the question and answer part of the test was sent home on Friday. To help review for the reading test, I recommend the following:
At home read the story (preferably out loud) and review the notes taken in the book thoroughly so that you know where the information is if needed during the test.
Review Know It, Show It pages. We discuss it quite thoroughly in class and there will be a couple of questions from there.
When reviewing with your student, it is my recommendation that when you ask a question, your student responds by WRITING DOWN the answer. My observation is that majority of the students know that answer but the issue lies in their struggle with their written expression. Once they write, ask them to read their answer out loud. Ask if it makes sense to them. See any mistakes they can correct. I do this in class. More practice will help.Â
Jazakallah Khairun for your support.

NOTE:Â
In 4th quarter, I do not accept any late work. No grade is updated after the due date. On Thursday, I do let the students know whose work I have received thus far. That way if they still have not done it, they have time to do so. I let them know before planner time so that they can write a note in their planner as a reminder to complete. Writing the note in the planner is the student's responsibility.
I would highly encourage the students to start working on their homework early so that if they do have questions, they have time to ask me.Â

The students often struggle with comprehension when it comes to non-fiction text. This will give students practice along with learning about new topics every week. They can also go online to check out the online resources like videos connected with this issue.Â
