Third grade in Colorado marks an important step in your child’s education that focuses on both academic and personal growth. 

In English Language Arts, students build strong reading comprehension skills by identifying themes, main ideas, and key details, and strengthen their writing with multi-paragraph compositions. 

Math emphasizes strategies for working with larger numbers, including multiplication, division, equivalent fractions, and measurement. 

In Science, students explore ecosystems, animal adaptations, habitats, and weather patterns through engaging, hands-on activities. 

Social Studies covers Colorado’s history, geography, and civics, incorporating maps and economic principles like production and exchange. 

Alongside these academic areas, our focus is on fostering independence, character building, and positive decision-making, helping students become self-directed learners who assess their own work. Through collaborative projects, technology integration, and leadership opportunities, third graders develop critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills to prepare for future learning.
