3rd Grade News

Dear Families,

As we come to the end of a wonderful term and prepare for the Semana Santa break, we want to take a moment to reflect on what has been a truly special week in 3rd grade.

One of the highlights of the week was the incredible **BIG QUESTIONS DAY EXHIBITION**. The children had the opportunity to take part in an immersive journey through Art Galleries, Innovation Projects, Research Presentations, and Performing Arts Experiences. It was inspiring to see their curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm come to life as they explored and engaged with each experience. The excitement and joy on their faces truly showed how much they enjoyed the day.

We are so proud of the effort, participation, and positive attitudes the children have shown throughout this term. They have worked incredibly hard and have grown in so many ways — academically, socially, and emotionally.

As we head into the Semana Santa break, we hope you all have a restful and enjoyable time with your families.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
