Arts
This is a very large block of our curriculum. It
includes all the skills for effective learning,
thinking and communicating. In ILA we learn
reading skills, composing/writing skills,
spelling, penmanship, grammar, word study, and
grade appropriate vocabulary. A variety of
literature genres are used both for reading and
writing styles. We also read some class novels
during the year.
Students are encouraged to read in class
whenever there is time, therefore they should
have a chapter book in their possession at all
times in class. A book log is also kept in each
student’s portfolio, as a record of what they
have read.
A writing portfolio which includes samples of
student writing in each grade is kept and passed
on through the years, to show how the student
had progressed in his or her writing skills.
There are six themes in our two Anthologies. Two
themes will be covered in each trimester.
Science
Third grade alternates the study of science,
social studies and writing. One teacher teaches
science for about 3 weeks while the other
teaches social studies and writing. At the end
of the period classes switch so whoever had
science will now have social studies, etc.
September: The Earth, and Scientific Method
October: Geology, Forces and Motion
November: Human Body, living things, and
adaptations.
