Third Grade

Upcoming Important Dates

Welcome to Third Grade!

Third grade is an exciting bridge year where your student will move from a primary to an intermediate grade level. The greatest transition will be from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." With these changes, your child may experience some growing pains, however it is normal for them to feel some frustration in the beginning of the year. Third graders will ultimately develop a greater sense of responsibility and independence.  The growth you will see your child make will amaze you!

The Third-grade team is dedicated to making this transition as seamless as possible. Our philosophy is maintaining open communication between home and school. We have found this yields the optimal results for the child's development as a third grader. 

These pages are going to be updated frequently with information about what we are learning and doing in third grade. You will also be able to access the spelling words for each week here.
