Welcome to Third Grade

The girls are all smiles about the new playground! 

Our newest third grader is right on top of things. 

Being with good friends at recess is still the best.

Third graders are swinging into the new school year along with their new uniforms!

Back inside the pleasantly air-conditioned classrooms, the girls are expanding their understanding of math by folding paper into given shapes and becoming quite the problem solvers.

We work well together with classmates,

reflect upon our own ideas, 

and find opportunities to help one another.

We are eager to learn and are good listeners.

WE ARE THE CLASS OF 2026!

French: La Fête du Fromage!

Today was the highly anticipated Fête du Fromage! The girls sampled le camembert, la mimolette, le roquefort, le saint albray, le pont-l'êveque, and le chèvre. While they ate, the girls kept track of their opinions on worksheets by categorizing each cheese under J'aime beaucoup, J'aime, and C'est bon (our polite way of saying Je n'aime pas tellement). History has shown that la mimolette is above and beyond the favorite while poor le roquefort is the least favorite. This year was no different. No matter what their opinions were, today was a very fun and special day in French class for all!
