Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

This last email is proving to be bittersweet! I’ve loved having this class but I am so ready for summer break (as I’m sure you are as well)! We finished some great projects and I’m sure your child has come home to proudly read their narrative stories or talk about how many penny rolls their bridge held. It was amazing to see the enthusiasm in which they completed this work and the final results certainly showed it! I’ve attached more pictures of Popsicle Stick Bridge testing below.

This email contains important summer work resources. You will find a list that has both digital and print options that you can use. You will also find a PDF of Ms. Turner’s summer reading packet and a hard copy will be provided in their purple folders on Tuesday. Please make an effort to keep our students reading and practicing math this summer, it makes a HUGE difference in how they’ll progress next year.

Here are some upcoming dates to plan for:

Friday, June 9: End of T3
Monday, June 12: Class Party (walk to the beach)
Tuesday, June 13: Last day of school- 10:30am Dismissal, NO SHARE AND CARE

What Our Families are Saying

"The supportive teachers at SPN played a big role in preparing me for high school and helping me understand what to expect. They encouraged me to ask questions and seek help when needed, which made me more confident in my learning. Thanks to them, I entered freshman year already familiar with many concepts and effective study habits that have helped me stay on top of my work. SPN also taught me valuable life skills that I still use today, helping me succeed academically, build strong friendships, and maintain my overall well-being."

— Tibby Horvath, SPN Class of 2022

"We are very satisfied with the SPN community, something that is important to our family. My children feel safe and comfortable with SPN. Our family feels connected with the SPN community from parents and families to the staff and faculty. My children and we as parents have made healthy and positive relationships with other families from school. We share time outside of school with other families which brings a level of connectedness I don't know if we would have elsewhere"

— SPN Parent

"My children are experiencing community in other ways than just friends and playdates. Faith Families is an example of community, interacting with students from all grade levels, and learning and creating for others outside of SPN. Field trips to Kids Against Hunger or the Alameda Food Bank where they work and see firsthand how their efforts help others less fortunate, for those who are in need of support. Community is not just our SPN ‘bubble,’ and that is what SPN demonstrates and provides– opportunity to explore a bigger community."
