Third
grade is a transition year between primary and intermediate
education. Students will explore new subject areas through
traditional, inquiry, and experiential learning methods.
Building upon the foundation started in earlier grades,
students cross the bridge from learning to read to reading
to learn. It is a time of growing independence and accountability.

Third
graders are enthusiastic about many new activities. Stepping
into a third grade classroom you might catch student's
excitement about writing in cursive, the challenge of learning
new multiplication facts, or preparing artifacts for their
extended day field trip.
The third grade curriculum is highlighted below.
