3rd Grade

Overview
Third grade is such an exciting time! It's a year of discovery, where everything feels new and full of possibilities. We get to dive into fun subjects like math, reading, history, science, and explore creative projects that really let our imagination soar. Whether it’s learning to multiply, reading a new chapter book, or discovering cool facts about the world, third grade is full of amazing adventures. Students will become time travelers and live a day in the life as a Roman citizen and a colonist. Students will discover the scientific process with dissecting a cow's eye and owl pellets. We get to become explorers as we adventure to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and blast off to the Space Foundation. Best of all, it's the year where friendships grow stronger and confidence blooms.
