Guided by our knowledge of child development, the Grade 3 year is designed to be a key transitional experience between the lower and upper grades–and it comes with the magic of both. We nurture Grade 3 students\u2019 earnest sense of wonder as well as their increasing interest in more intellectual discussion and higher order thinking. We nurture their joy in snuggling up for a read aloud as well as their pride in presenting a complex math solution to a group or analyzing a novel for the first time. As students engage in increasingly abstract thought and their inquiries take them beyond their immediate environment, we support students to make connections between the \u201chere and now\u201d and \u201clong ago and far away.\u201d Thanks to our small class sizes, we can provide individualized learning experiences for each of our students; this is especially true during our reading classes, where we use research-based, scientific approaches to support each child on their individual reading journey. Grade 3 students continue to build on the strong foundation of skills, set in the early grades, that they will need in order to manage their own learning processes. We support them to apply these skills to increasingly complex academic work, such as multi-step multiplication and division problems, multi-chapter novels, and information-dense non-fiction texts. As they develop greater independence as learners, they also expand their capacity to engage one another in sustained collaborative group work and report their findings to their learning community.<\/span><\/p>\n
