Third Grade Weekly Update
Dear Parents,
Third grade has been preparing for conferences next week. Today, they reflected on their classroom work habits. It was interesting to see them grapple with analyzing how they behave in certain situations, such as participating in class and disturbing others. I reassured them that there were no wrong answers, but it was important to be honest with themselves so they could recognize areas for improvement. I look forward to discussing these reflections with you next week.
Some reminders: Students must attend the conferences with you, and progress reports will be sent home today. Please review their progress with them so they can celebrate successes and identify areas for growth.
Here are some dates to plan for:
- Friday, Oct 4 – T1 Progress Reports
- Tues – Friday – Oct 8-11 Noon Dismissal Days, Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences
- Monday, Oct 14 – NO SCHOOL: Indigenous Peoples Day
- Tuesday, Oct 15 – Free dress for Oct B-days
- Thursday, Oct 17 – Rhythmix Sewam Native American Dance
- Tuesday, Oct 22 – Re-take School pictures
- Thursday, Oct 31 – Noon Dismissal. Halloween Parade 8:15 a.m.
Please be sure to read the SPN Weekly Newsletter every Tuesday to keep up with school info and events!
Learning Overview
Unit 1: Math Posters
Our first field trip will be to the local Alameda Rhythmix Center to see a Sewam Native American Dance Performance. Since it is nearby, we will walk to the location and will not require drivers or chaperones. This field trip connects to our social studies standards, as we are studying the Native American use of resources in clothing and celebrations.
Take care, and have a great weekend!
Warmly,
Mrs. Costy
