3rd Grade News

Dear Third Grade Parents, 

After a refreshing week-long break from school, we feel rejuvenated and ready to dive back into our learning. The break allowed us to recharge both mentally and physically, giving us the opportunity to catch up on some much-needed rest and spend quality time with family and friends. Now, we are looking forward to getting back into the routine of classes, learning new things, and tackling upcoming assignments and projects with renewed enthusiasm. It's amazing how a short break can make such a positive difference in one's outlook and energy levels. Here's to a productive and successful return to school! We are thrilled to announce the exciting launch of new units of study in our curriculum! Our dedicated team of educators has been hard at work crafting engaging and enriching learning experiences for your children. These new units will provide fresh perspectives, foster curiosity, and ignite a passion for learning. We can't wait to see your children flourish as they embark on these educational adventures. Stay tuned for more details and be prepared for a wonderful journey of discovery and growth together. This month’s trait is Determined and we are excited to explore and demonstrate this trait in our daily routines.
