CLASS- III
Dear Parents
The annual summer vacations are here. We are all in a new normal situation and I hope you and your family are safe and healthy as you read this message. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we have been adjusting, like you, to the drastic changes in life during the last few weeks. I am extremely appreciative of our students, parents, teachers, staff, and administrators for their positivity, flexibility and resilience during these trying times. A huge debt of gratitude also goes to all of our doctors, nurses, hospital employees, first responders, and our leaders for all they are doing to keep us safe and healthy.
Virtual online classrooms have arrived and at Apeejay School, Saket, learning is in full motion. Our goal is to provide continuous educational opportunities and practice for students while schools are closed but also to eliminate as much stress as feasibly possible for students, parents, and teachers.
We have designed work during the holidays for our students keeping in mind the present situation. One of our main focus points for our students has been inculcation of a “growth mindset.” A growth mindset unlocks our ability to learn and grow especially during challenging times. Little did we know how important this growth mindset would be for all of us this year! Because of this experience and our growth mindset, I believe we all will be stronger when we come out on the other side of the COVID-19 Pandemic! History is being written! We hold the pen! Together, we will write the BEST story for our children!
"Each child is an individual and must be allowed to bloom, express his feelings and ideas." My Dear Parents, spend time listening to your child, sharing household chores, playing, laughing, exercising, relaxing and above all praying to the power you believe in.
A few points to remember: The homework assigned has to be compiled subject wise on loose sheets and neatly filed in one folder only.
Submissions in hard copy will be taken once we resume school. These assignments are graded so kindly ensure your ward does it in his /her own handwriting.
Please contact the class teacher incase if you or our students need support. Kindly send a message and she will be happy to help.
Stay strong! Stay healthy!

The jackal wanted to eat the rabbit. He told the dog that
they would chase and kill the rabbit. The jackal wanted
to make fun of the dog, He asked, “friend, can you catch
the rabbit? The dog was not very interested. The jackal
said, “It is a big rabbit. I am sure its meat will be very
tasty. I wish we both could share this rabbit. So, the dog
ran after the rabbit. But the rabbit was too fast for the
dog. The jackal made fun of his friend. He said “You are
not a good hunter!” To this the dog replied, “I ran after
the rabbit for its life. One who runs for one’s life can run
really fast. So, you please understand this fact before
