Third Grade
Welcome to 3rd Grade
In third grade, our goal is to cultivate and encourage independent learners. Their academic journey in third grade is a rigorous step up from second grade, but we believe our students can grow academically and obtain high these goals. More importantly, we want to encourage their walk with Christ by teaching Biblical lessons, praying with them, memorizing Bible verses, and demonstrating a Christian walk with Christ to our students. We look forward to assisting our students to become Christ-centered, working students.What will my child learn?
