Knowledgeable and Communicators
As we wrap up the 2024–2025 school year, we are excited to share our final newsletter with you! This has been an incredible year of growth, learning, and unforgettable memories. We are so proud of each and every student—their hard work, determination, and joy made this school year truly special. We will miss them deeply and wish them all the best as they head into fourth grade!
Over the summer, we encourage families to stay engaged in learning by reading together daily, practicing math facts, exploring writing through journaling or creative stories, and having meaningful conversations about the world around them. These small moments can have a big impact. Thank you for your continued support—it’s been an amazing, amazing third-grade school year!
Communicator
Communicator
Students are growing as communicators by learning to clearly express their thoughts and support their ideas with evidence. During our argumentative writing unit, they practiced sharing their opinions on important topics like solar and wind energy. They organized their writing with strong introductions, reasons, and conclusions, making their messages clear and persuasive. In class discussions, they listened respectfully to others and responded with thoughtful comments. They also used academic vocabulary to explain math concepts, such as the attributes of polygons. Through writing, speaking, and listening, students are becoming confident and effective communicators.
Knowledgeable
Knowledgeable
Students are growing as knowledgeable learners by building a deep understanding of key concepts across subjects. In math, they explored the properties of shapes, lines, and polygons, using precise vocabulary to describe and classify them. They made connections between what they learned and how shapes are used in the world around them. In reading and writing, they learned about different types of energy and formed informed opinions based on facts and evidence. Through discussion, research, and writing, they applied their knowledge in real-world contexts. Their curiosity and growing content knowledge are helping them become confident, thoughtful thinkers.
How We Organize Ourselves
How We Organize Ourselves
In June, throughout this unit, students embodied the IB learner profiles as they explored how systems bring order to our world. In math, students developed into knowledgeable thinkers as they explored the structure of geometry, learning to identify and classify shapes, lines, and polygons based on specific attributes. They asked thoughtful questions, analyzed how shapes function within systems, and confidently explained what makes a polygon a polygon.

In reading and writing, students demonstrated their skills as communicators while engaging with argumentative texts. They explored the essential question: What are the different kinds of energy? through the lens of solar vs. wind power. Students took responsibility for forming strong opinions and supported their ideas with evidence. Their writing reflected their understanding of how energy systems work and how those systems impact communities, truly connecting to the central idea of how we organize ourselves.

By thinking critically, expressing ideas clearly, and applying their learning to real-world topics, students showed how systems, responsibility, and communication all work together to build an organized society.
