I hope everyone enjoyed their 3-day weekend and you were able to rest as we get back into the routine!
The students had so much fun on Friday as we celebrated our Ancient Rome unit, and then had a Wild Robot Viewing party. A huge thank you to all the parents who donated items or time to make this day to come to life. It's always good to have something to look forward to after the holidays!
Last week, students came home with their Middle of Year assessment scores in their Thursday folders. Please be sure to take a look at these, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about your student’s scores or progress. Grades for Quarter 2 were also posted last week, which means we are officially halfway through our 3rd grade year! As we move forward, please remember to check in on your student’s grades throughout the quarter so there are no surprises!
In the classroom, we are wrapping up our Light and Sound unit in CKLA. Up next, we are very excited to begin our Vikings unit! Keep an eye out for information about our End of Unit project, which will be coming home next week. More details will be shared soon!
Other than that, we don’t have much to share—we are simply enjoying settling back into our school routines and spending this time learning and growing together.
With Love,
Ms. Alvarez

I’m so grateful to be part of the AVA community! This is my sixth year of teaching and my fifth year here at AVA. I truly love this school, our students, and the amazing families I get to work with every day. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Elementary Education from the University of Northern Colorado. Teaching is my passion, and being in the classroom with your children is genuinely my happy place! I care deeply about your child’s well-being and am committed to creating a learning environment where every student can thrive. I’m here to partner with you to support your student’s success—please never hesitate to reach out.
I’m looking forward to the BRIGHTEST year yet!
