In Module 3 of Arts & Letters, students in grades 2–5 are building strong reading, writing, and thinking skills by exploring meaningful texts and sharing their ideas about what they read.

Throughout the module, students:

Across the three units, students grow more confident in:

By the end of Module 3, students are better prepared to think critically, express their ideas clearly, and connect what they read to the world around them. These skills help set the foundation for future learning across all subjects.

To keep the learning going beyond the classroom, here are some grade-level tips for families to support and extend learning at home:

Tips for Families (english/spanish included)

STEM is a big part of what your child experiences at school! Through hands-on activities and real-world connections, students are learning how to think critically, solve problems, and work together. This year, all students had the chance to go on a STEM-based field trip to a park, where they explored nature, made observations, and connected what they have been learning in class to the world around them.

In the building, our Kindergarten students are incorporating STEM through their play-based centers! In their classrooms, they have created “Target stores” with different departments. Students are measuring and comparing fruit, planting flowers, and learning how a business works—all in a fun, age-appropriate way.  In Inquiry Lab, our first graders are building and launching straw rockets while our fourth graders are creating their light houses! In Media, our students read a book called, Whirligig, about a man that built windmills out of scrap material. Our younger students are building wind socks while our older students are building their very own windmills with recyclable materials! It is exciting to see their creativity and curiosity grow through these experiences!

Our chicks have officially hatched in our second grade classrooms—such an exciting experience for our students!  Our third graders have also been making great connections across subjects. As part of their ELA unit, they read about the artist Jackson Pollock, created their own paintings inspired by his work, and wrote about how their artwork connects to his unique style. 

Our garden team has been hard at work in the mornings getting our beds ready for spring planting! So far, we have planted radishes, carrots, and lettuce, and in the next few weeks we will be adding sweet potatoes for t
