Our comprehensive 3rd Grade Curriculum is designed specifically to meet Mississippi academic standards across all subjects and is geared towards nurturing critical thinking, creativity, and essential skills in young learners.
Language Arts
Our Language Arts program immerses students in a world of literacy, where they will explore the elements of reading through character and plot analysis, identifying main ideas, and summarizing texts. Students will refine their writing skills by crafting opinion pieces and narratives while developing strong research skills for project-based learning. A robust vocabulary program helps students enhance their language skills, and targeted grammar instruction ensures they master the building blocks of effective communication.
Math
Our Math curriculum emphasizes real-world application and problem-solving. Students will master multiplication and division within 100, gain a strong grasp of fractions, and learn to tackle word problems with confidence. Geometry instruction involves classifying and analyzing shapes, and students will explore measurement concepts such as perimeter and area through hands-on activities. Each unit encourages critical thinking and prepares students for more complex mathematical concepts.
Science
Our Science curriculum encourages curiosity about the world. Through engaging lessons, students will study the properties of matter, explore plant and animal characteristics, and examine environmental changes. The Earth and Space Science unit transports them into the cosmos, where they’ll learn about the solar system and weather patterns while understanding the importance of conservation and sustainability.
Social Studies
With our Social Studies program, students will embark on an enlightening journey through history, geography, and civics. They will learn about significant historical events, key figures, and the vital contributions of diverse cultures to society. Map skills and geographical awareness will help them understand the regions of the United States, while civic lessons instill the foundational principles of democracy and the responsibilities of citizenship.

Our Physical Education curriculum promotes active participation in activities that enhance health, encouraging skill development in various sports while emphasizing teamwork and sportsmanship. Personal and social skills are equally important as students learn to communicate effectively and make healthy choices.
