Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

I want to give a big shout-out to all the parents who attended our “Town Hall” meeting last night! It was the first time for many teachers, and we were happy to see that parents were curious, appreciative, and collaborative throughout the meeting. A question was raised on how to encourage conversation about what students do during the day. One great way that I have found to keep up with what my children are learning is by looking at their teacher’s weekly learning objectives and asking them specific questions. This helps me to jog their memories about what they were taught. Below, you can find the learning objectives for our third-grade students.

Here are some upcoming dates to plan for:

Tuesday, October 31 – Noon Dismissal, Halloween Parade, 8:15 a.m.

November 2023

Wednesday, November 1 – All School Mass: All Saints Day, 9:30 a.m.

Lastly, we created pop-up haunted houses to accompany our weekly writing. They came out really great! I’ve attached pictures for you to enjoy.

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."
