Third Grade
Third grade is the best! Our students switch from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” We dive deeper into reading skills like theme, central idea and supporting details, character analysis, and text structure (plus so much more).
We want to make our students’ learning experience enjoyable, fun and full of choice. We begin the year with learning and reviewing the structure of sentences, and how to make them “juicier” and build upon them to form paragraphs. We use writing techniques like RACES, TIDE, and opinion essays.
Our math program allows the students to do the thinking and solve real-world problems with math. We dive into multiplication, then division, fractions and measurement. We like to use games and online activities to help solidify these skills.
Our main focus in math is reasoning and critical thinking. Our goal is to make the third grade full of choice, fun, and success!
