Third grade marks an exciting milestone: it’s the first year students participate in state End-of-Grade (EOG) testing. Academically, this year focuses on applying reading strategies to understand a wide range of texts and building fluency with multiplication and division facts. Students also explore fractions, area, and more complex word problems. In writing, they learn to plan, draft, and revise multi-paragraph pieces.
This is also the year students start to show greater independence in learning and personal responsibility. They learn perseverance and problem-solving strategies that carry them forward through testing and beyond. Third graders emerge as critical thinkers and problem solvers, ready for the challenges of upper grades.
