The third grade curriculum is an exciting transition from the primary to the intermediate years of schooling. The language arts curriculum is a two-part program consisting of the skills and competencies from both the Connecticut Common Core and the grade level objectives. These include listening, writing, speaking, reading, and viewing. Third graders study the state of Connecticut in Social Studies, integrating all areas of the curricula. Mathematics Plus is the text used as a valuable tool to extend math concepts introduced in Kindergarten, First and Second grades.
Students learn new skills such as multiplication, division, and multi-step problem solving.
A variety of themes are presented in the Science curriculum. This is my second year teaching third grade at Eastern Point. I received my Bachelor's degree in Early childhood Education at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts and my Master's degree in Special Education at Southern Connecticut State University. I recently earned a second Master's degree in Educational Technology at the University of Hartford. I'm looking forward to utilizing this new knowledge with my third grade students this year.
