In the Spring third graders study about communities. We learn about our own community of Bellingham and about other kinds of communities around the world. We go on a field trip to the Mayor's office. Third graders learn skills to help them solve problems using discussion and conflict resolution. On alternating years students participate in a school wide Multi-Culture Fair.
Students research their cultural heritage and produce a display for the fair.
FINE ARTS Art, music and creative dramatics are used throughout the third grade curriculum in all subject areas. Spanish is taught through the FLAN program.
