What are we learning?
As a third grade team, we have created our lessons around the Common Core Standards. These standards are our goals and what we are striving to get our students to understand. Throughout the year, students will be explained the standard that is being taught that day. Below is a brief description of our curriculums and standards are also linked in blue.
