Weekly "Newsletter" From Ms. Alvarez:

 We have officially made it to the final week of 3rd grade! It is going to be such a fun and memorable week filled with celebrations and special events.

 

Monday:
Monday will be the last day students switch for Math and Reading.
If your student still has a Saxon Math book at home, please send it back to school so we can get all materials turned in before summer break.

 

Tuesday – Colonial/Holes Day:
Our Colonial Day will take place Tuesday from 8:30–10:00 AM. Students may wear their AVA Spirit Shirt with athletic bottoms for the event. We are excited for another fun morning of colonial activities and stations!In the afternoon, students will get to relax and enjoy watching Holes together.

 

Wednesday – Colonial Market Day:
Students will participate in our Colonial Market Day. They will present and share their colonial market items with classmates and other grade levels. This is always such a fun way to showcase all of their hard work and creativity!

 

Thursday – Cleaning Day:
Thursday will be our classroom cleaning day! Students will be cleaning out desks and bringing all school supplies home. Please make sure your student’s backpack comes to school empty so they have plenty of room for all of their supplies.

 

Last Day of School – Luau Day!
We will end the year with a Luau Celebration! Students may wear luau or beach-themed outfits and may bring a towel so they can “sit at the beach” during our festivities.

 

Thank you for all of your support throughout this incredible school year. It has been such a joy watching your students grow, learn, and shine this year!

Meet the Teacher - Letter from 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!
