Language Arts:
During a typical third grade day, children will spend about two and a half hours on language arts (reading, language, spelling, writing, and speaking). Through extensive experience with language students develop literary appreciation and communications skills. Students are encouraged to reflect, question, analyze, interpret and evaluate as they engage in the various elements of language arts. Since reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing are keys to thinking and learning, instruction in the language arts is integrated into all disciplines.
Math:
Students spend approximately an hour each day on developing math skills. Students are actively engaged in problem solving, reasoning, and communicating mathematically.
Social Studies/Science:
Approximately 45 minutes each day is spent on social studies or science/health.
Specials:
During the week students will participate in a special each day in the areas of physical education, music (vocal and the recorder), library, art, and computer.
