Dear Third-Grade Parents,

This week’s Winter Spiral was awe-inspiring for the students, teachers, and parents. The anticipation of this beautiful event set the mood for the whole week. On Thursday, each student slowly walked into the spiral to get their candles lit, and on their way out, they carefully chose a star for their candle. The experience evoked a strong feeling of community in the class while highlighting that each student can select how to contribute. Thank you to all volunteers, faculty, and staff who made this magical event possible!

In our language arts block, the students concentrated on nouns, verbs, and adjectives. They wrote definitions for the parts of speech into their new grammar books and made sentences together. The class also completed main lesson book pages and listened to Advent and Hanukkah stories.

Reminders:

Dress for rainy weather.
Send a change of clothes (Ahhrgh! those wet socks!).
Send plenty to drink. Warm drinks in thermoses are welcome.
The fall semester will end on Thursday, December 16. It will be a half-day.

Kind regards,
