About Third Grade
Third grade is a year filled with multiplication, making new friends and mastering new skills. In third grade, the students become more independent workers and thinkers. They learn study skills, homework habits and strategies for being successful in school. We also have fun while learning. Turtles often stop by to give our weekly spelling tests. We love to challenge anyone to a multiplication race. You can often hear us singing songs about science, language arts and social studies.
