Third grade students have been studying how animals grow and change throughout the course of their lives.  In Social Studies, they explore different communities around the world. In addition, our students research a national or international community in depth and present it to their peers. Our teachers utilize Fountas and Pinnell in ELA classes.  The students refine their handwriting skills, learn their multiplication tables and begin division.  As a class, the third graders enjoy reading different novels, such as Third Grade Angels. Students in Grade 3 continue to study a World Language. Students may choose from Italian, Spanish, French or Latin. In preparation of the birth of our Savior, the third graders perform the Christmas Pageant for the school and Notre Dame Parish community. In the spring, the students go on a field trip to Safety Town!
