Third Grade: New Awareness, New Capabilities

In Third Grade, children begin to develop a sense of individuality and separateness from others. They are discovering personal boundaries through play and new experiences, and their physical growth matches their mental growth. As they engage with their surroundings and cultivate a new interest in the practical, material world, we foster this development with main lesson blocks about farming and building. The students apply numeracy and literacy skills to practical applications, such as measuring and weighing.

In language arts, we explore stories of Indigenous peoples and the Jewish people, as we continue to delve into global cultures, customs, and ways of living. We also introduce cursive writing, known to be beneficial for brain development, and the formal study of grammar through the parts of speech.
