Welcome to the Third Grade at the Center! Our class offers a supportive and engaging learning environment for third-grade students who are being homeschooled. Our aim is to create a cooperative learning community where students can develop their academic skills, socialize with peers, and explore various subjects. With a thematic, integrated curriculum full of hands-on activities, we strive to keep young minds engaged.

In our small class setting, children can learn together through group discussions and small center rotations, fostering a loving environment. Here are some of the subjects and topics we will cover:

1. Language Arts: phonics, reading, spelling, writing, grammar and punctuation, literature, art, poetry memorization and appreciation, story telling, and geography.

2. Mathematics: advanced addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, adding fractions, beginning geometry, graphing, time, perimeters, areas, volume, and so much more.

3. Handwriting: 85% of the course focuses on teaching cursive, and 15% of the course on cementing correct print formation.

Parental involvement is crucial for homeschooling success. Parents are encouraged to actively participate in their child's learning by providing support, reviewing and completing homework assignments, and reinforcing concepts at home.

Before classes begin, parents are required to attend an orientation where the teacher will provide the scope and sequence for the year, details on-at-home learning and answer parent questions. Each student will also need to have an assessment scheduled to confirm they are ready for the class and identify their baseline.

Students will have math and literacy homework assigned weekly containing four language arts lessons and four math lessons, along with weekly spelling test practice. Each student will have a take-home folder to facilitate learning between the Center and your family's personal homeschool journey. Reminder: according to the Center's Covenant, parents/guardians must agree to do the required homework and respond to all emails/texts from teachers and the Center to be a good fit for classes.  

Third-grade students should bring a backpack, water bottle, and daily snack/lunch to class. In addition, each student needs to dress comfortably for outside playtime. We encourage you to join us on this exciting educational journey!
