Third grade is a grade of transition. In third grade we not only
learn to read words and sentences, but comprehend what we read.
The language arts program is strongly integrated with social studies
and science. We begin not only reading for pleasure, but also reading
for information.
Cursive writing is introduced. In math multiplication, division,
fractions, and decimals are emphasized. Native Americans and the
Westward Movement are the most important social studies chapters.
In science we learn about living things, Earth and the solar system,
matter, energy, and light. Art is often integrated with these subjects.
The children grow spiritually by planning school Masses and doing
readings, responsorial psalms, gifts, etc. The Rosary is the theme
of their annual retreat.
One of our favorite field trips is to the Centennial Heritage Museum. The tour provides an experience reflective of life in Orange County at the turn of the century. The children experience a variety of participatory activities that focus on 19th centruy daily living skills, clothing, inventions, entertainment, education, agriculture, and architecture.
The most memorable tradition of third grade is our annual Banana
Split Party. The children have timed tests every Friday on their
multiplication facts. Every time they pass a test they earn a part
of their banana split. The highlight of the year is when we pass
all our tests and are ready for our party.
