Previewing Third Grade

Students should have a thorough understanding of addition and subtraction facts entering the third grade. A significant portion of the year will focus on multiplication, division, fractions, and measurement.

Language arts will include spelling, grammar, responding to literature, as well as narrative, persuasive, and expository writing. In reading, we focus on developing stronger reading comprehension skills and digging deeper for understanding of text.
