Third Grade Skills
In third grade students learn all of the following skills and more. In ELA, we determine theme and main ideas in a text, describe characters and how their actions contribute to the sequence of events, use text features to locate relevant information, compare and contrast texts, and distinguish point of view. We also learn to write narratives, opinion pieces, and informative essays. In Math, we learn multiplication and division, rounding to the nearest 10 and 100, using fractions to represent parts of a whole, elapsed time, and categorizing shapes by attribute. In Science, we study matter, energy, force, animal and plant adaptations, and the solar system. In Social Studies, we learn the continents, 50 states, major countries and physical features around the world, TN's economy, Native American culture, European exploration, and early North American settlements.
We have such fun content in 3rd grade! We're excited to teach your kiddos this year!
