Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

As we gear up to begin opening SPN, this email will contain information on this week’s schedule as well as reminders for important information that I feel needs to be reiterated.

For this week, please note on our schedule that we have STAR Reading on Tuesday at 9:30am and STAR Math on Thursday at 10:45am. All students are to attend at the same time and these tests will take the place of our ELA groups on Tuesday and Math groups on Thursday. Please prepare for these tests by having your device charged and making sure your child is in a solitary, quiet environment. As a reminder, your child will benefit most if they take this test without the help of adults nearby.

We are celebrating Veteran’s day on Tuesday with an activity that will require a worksheet with stars. I’ve included one and ask that you print it out for our lesson tomorrow afternoon.

Lastly, students were given a social studies “Culminating Project” assignment. Please find the information on Google Classroom, make sure your student begins to work on it and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

REMINDERS (PLEASE READ):

We will have 1 morning cohort. Distance Learners are required to join this cohort virtually, on a daily basis at 7:50 am.

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."
