Reading Standards for Informational Text: Distinguishing Author’s Point of View from Own (CCSS.RI.3.6) Practice Test

Animals can teach responsibility, and I think our class should care for a small pet, like a fish or hamster. A class pet can be the best way to practice gentle hands and teamwork. Students could take turns feeding it, and a simple schedule would keep it safe. Some people worry about allergies or noise. Those concerns matter, but I think we can choose a quiet pet and clean carefully. We should ask families to help on weekends so the pet has steady care. A pet would make science lessons more exciting, build patience, and help us show kindness every day at school.

I think schools should offer a salad bar every day. Fresh vegetables give vitamins and fiber that help students learn and play. A colorful mix lets kids choose what they like, so lunch doesn't feel boring. Hot meals are important, too, but a salad bar is the best way to add crunch and balance. Some students worry they won't be full. I think protein toppings, like beans or cheese, can help with that. Families and schools should work together to teach simple choices, such as adding fruit or drinking water. With practice, picking a bright, tasty plate becomes a habit that helps your body and your brain.
