Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Third Grade Parents,

I hope this email finds you well and enjoying the last days of the break. I was able to fully enjoy the summer with my family, and carved out some much needed personal time to recuperate while reading, running and sleeping (all things I love to do!). Mrs. Schopf and I are now back in the classroom organizing and preparing for the upcoming school year and can’t wait to see you all next week!

I’d like to take the opportunity to welcome the Fischetti and Uzoka families to our classroom community. Both Hannah Fischetti and Esther Uzoka will be new this year and may need some help learning their way around, if your child would like to volunteer, please let me know.

Since next week is very short, our main focus will be connecting again as a class and basic procedures we’ll use throughout the year. I’ve attached our 3rd grade general schedule that shows how our basic week is laid out. An assignment grid and learning objectives overview will be included when we begin our full curriculum (week 2) and will have specific information pertaining to our academic path.

Lastly, if you prefer to use a different email, please let me know and I’ll redirect these messages in the future. 

Take care and see you soon!

Warmly,

Mrs. Costy

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."
