Language arts can cover any subjects relative to the English language including reading or literature. It depends on the subjects listed on the report card whether language arts is only grammar and composition or not. It would be wise to wait for the extra credit essay after you have discussed that possibility with the teacher. The teacher may be willing to accept extra credit but would prefer it be in the area in which your daughter needs to improve. It seems unusual that a student in third grade would actually have a percentage score in language arts. This would indicate the possibility of a low grade on one or two tests within a three week period. If so, she may have difficulty in a testing situation but not in her general ability in language arts.
P.S. The way to remember the spelling of tomorrow is to think of it as to + morrow, since it relates to the morrow.

Language arts is a class where english, writing, and reading are combined into one year-long course. Don't just force your daughter to write an essay, the teacher may not take extra credit. When you're talking to her teacher, ask if there's anything that can be done to help her study habits, writing, etc.
F.Y.I.: Try to set a good example for your daughter. You spelled tommorow and usually wrong, and you have serious grammar/punctuation errors.

I can see the problem! Most people who have English as first language end up being the ones who have the most problems with correct usage, grammar, and whats worse-- spelling !
Dont worry, your child is certainly not the first one who has problems with the English language. The only place where English is spoken perfectly these days is in some university linguistics department, or in most English classes. Who speaks that way in real life? Certainly not the kids. There is too much slang, colloquialisms, and mangling of the language around them, and they see and hear it on TV everyday.
Dont panic your daughter is too young to be bogged down by a B-. She will survive !
If you have to, enrol her in an English supplementary classes such as kumon or Sylvan.
She will shoot up to the top of her class.

Has she been tested for a learning disability? They can appear at any time. Talk to the principal at your daughter's school to find out how to get the testing done.
