Over four weeks, third graders participate in lessons that boost spelling, grammar, reading, and writing skills. Scholars explore spelling patterns, suffixes, singular and plural possessive nouns, quotations, and conjunctions. Read-alouds take pupils through the universe. A research paper delves deep into the topic of astronomy. Lessons begin with reading, go into skills practice, and end with take-home materials.
