Third Grade

In Language Arts, students read many types of literature to build their fluency and comprehension. They also participate in writing workshop for both free choice topics and assigned writing tasks. Four themes that third graders learn about through language arts include Communities, Endangered Species, Multicultural Cinderella, and Inventions.

In Math, topics such as time, money, measurement, fractions, patterns, and geometry are reinforced and expanded upon. New topics introduced include decimals, multiplication facts, and circumference. These topics are learned through explorations, games, and teacher directed lessons.

In Science, we have three inquiry based units throughout the year. They are the human body, chemicals, and magnetism/electricity.

In Social Studies, students learn about communities and geography. They also learn about the history of our community, Bernards Township.
