Third Grade: A Year of Independence & Inquiry!
As Nolan third graders transition from second grade, they learn to become more responsible for their learning. With more maturity they develop organizational skills, group cooperation skills, and independence. They are nurtured to become inquisitive learners and thinkers. As students build upon their literacy foundation, they grow in reading comprehension and writing mechanics. Third graders bloom from “learning to read” to “reading to learn”. To become true problem solvers, students refine strategies for mathematical reasoning. Third graders will begin to understand their place in the global community through the study of the geography and the culture of the seven continents. Highlights of the year: switching classes and having content area specialist teachers, learning multiplication facts, new opportunities to participate in 3rd-5th grade clubs, book character dress up day, field trips to the IMAX and a theater production, and presentations by the weather man and the Creative Discovery Museum.
