Our third grade team is focused on learning and growth for all students. With a balanced literacy program in place, we have guided reading and literature circles every day.
Benchmark writing is another important facet of our literacy program.
Students assess their growth using rubrics to improve their writing skills as well as all other areas of the curriculum. The students go to the Carousel Theater in the fall and again in the spring. They also attend a symphony performance in the spring. Third grade is an exciting place to be. We are planning for the third grade Gateways in 2001-2002.
