This family letter from Amity Global School outlines the upcoming 3rd grade study unit on how changes in Earth and its atmosphere impact human lives. Students will examine how Earth's components interact, why and how the planet has changed over time, and how humans respond to those changes. Key concepts include change, causation, and responsibility. Students will develop research and self-management skills by independently researching natural disasters and presenting their findings. Assessments will include a comic strip or puppet show illustrating preparedness and safety plans for disasters. Lessons will also cover adjectives in English, multiplication in Math, birthday celebrations in Hindi, dragon eyes in art, and creating animated natural disaster presentations in ICT.
