3rd Grade

The Third Grade curriculum builds on the natural curiosity of a child at this age.   Questions of the origins of things are delved into in a variety of ways.  From reading the tales of the Old Testament to building a small barn, Third graders at Hawthorne Valley approach their learning from perspectives as varied as their interests.  The Third grade curriculum lends itself toward action,  be it the practical skill of farming, the weighing and measure of objects, or the active process of grammatical word selection.
