Dear Third-Grade Families,
The last week of school went by very quickly. Every day, the class was busy wrapping up the school year in the mornings and having fun outdoors in the afternoons. The students used the main-lesson time to plan the writing part of their dwelling projects. All students brought the dwellings they had built at home to school, and we held an exhibition for the grades on Thursday. The students had built various miniature dwellings and can be proud of their work.
We used the remaining main-lesson time to hear stories of Moses finally bringing his people to the promised land. With this, the Hebrew creation stories end and make way for Norse Myths in the upcoming school year. In handwork, the class finished their projects with Ki Ieva and enjoyed embroidering hearts and stars on plastic canvas. The students built a dust bath for the chickens during farming class as their last gardening project.
We had perfect summer weather throughout the week, and the class spent a lot of afternoon time cooling down by the creek. The students had fun playing with sand and clay, splashing each other, and getting wet from head to toe. On Wednesday, we had our field day with all kinds of water games up on the green. The class enjoyed competing in teams to fill buckets of water with sponges and cups, play with beach balls, and slide on our water slide. We ended the games with juicy fruit popsicles.
On Friday, our Main lesson books went home with the students. These books contain samples of what the students have learned throughout the school year.
Thank you very much for your continued parent support throughout the school year and your lovely teacher gift.
As we closed this year, we wished some classmates and their families well on their new adventures. In the coming year we have the joy of looking forward to several new friends joining our class. We will continue our learning journey together as the 3/4 class. In addition to continuing to share many extra main lesson activities such as painting and form drawing, we will stay together for our main lesson time and integrate our curriculum to meet the needs of all students. Many speciality classes will also be combined. Creating a fully integrated class allows for the healthiest social dynamic for the students and we are looking forward to sharing our adventures together!!
I am looking forward to seeing you again in fourth grade and wish you a great Summer!
