Quarter 3
Positivity Project
Positivity Project
The Positivity Project is a comprehensive, evidence-based positive character education curriculum serving 800+ PreK–12 schools across the United States and internationally. At the core of our work are positive psychology’s 24 character strengths, which teaches students actionable ways to build positive relationships in their lives. By teaching students to focus on character strengths—both in themselves and others—we create a culture of positivity that extends beyond the classroom. P2 helps students build self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to connect with others, leading to long-lasting improvements in school culture and individual student outcomes.

Letterland
Letterland
Letterland was created to teach phonics using a story-based approach. The story logic engages students leading to long term retention of concepts. What's more, Letterland is wonderfully multi-sensory. It activates every learning channel through music, actions, alliteration, movement, song, art, games and role-play.
In Quarter 3, students will continue vowel teams and diphthongs, more R-Controlled vowels with long vowel sounds, prefixes, and ending changes with plurals.

Weather (Earth Systems, Structures, & Processes)
By the end of the unit...
Students know that light travels from the sun to the earth. Some of this light is reflected back into space, some is absorbed by the land, water, and air.
Students know that numbers are used to describe air temperature, wind speed, and the amount of precipitation that occurs. Students know that wind direction is described using cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) and numbers. Students know how to measure air temperature with a thermometer, wind direction with a wind sock or vane, wind speed with an anemometer, and precipitation with a rain gauge.
Students know that over time there are patterns that can be observed in the weather and that these patterns are influenced by the time of day (cooler morning, warmer afternoon) and the time of year (seasonal changes).
Students are familiar with manual and electronic weather instruments, sensors, and computers as well as how they can produce a ‘running record’ of weather changes that occur over time by collecting and recording data. This collection of data can be analyzed as a basis for predicting weather trends.
