Dear Parents,
Welcome to a brand-new week, families! Third grade is gearing up for fresh learning, fun adventures, and lots of discovery. Here’s a sneak peek at all the exciting things your student will be exploring in class this week!
English Literacy: This week we will launch our Literary Essay writing Unit. Writers will think about characters and their traits, making claims and supporting it with evidence.
Spanish Literacy: La siguiente semana los estudiantes se aseguran de tener publicadas todas sus historias, con ilustraciones y portadas. También celebrarán compartiendo sus historias con sus compañeros.
Bridges (Math): Mathematicians will interpret products of whole numbers. Mathematicians will solve multiplication problems with products to 100 involving situations of equal groups and arrays. Mathematicians will multiply using commutative property.
Social Studies: By visiting La Casa de las Artesanías in Masaya, students will deepen their understanding of Nicaraguan culture by observing how traditional toys are created. This experience will help them connect what they’ve learned in class to real-life cultural practices and appreciate the importance of preserving traditions.

Talk with a family member about a cultural tradition they enjoy (like a holiday, food, or game) and then draw or write about it in their notebook. This helps them connect what they saw at La Casa de las Artesanías with their own family’s traditions and see how culture is part of everyday life.
