Third Grade Curriculum
Purpose:
At Corvian, while we certainly teach isolated skills, we strive to continuously give students meaningful and purposeful opportunities to use those newly learned skills. All students at all grade levels are always participating in multi-disciplinary, integrated units of study that give the students an opportunity to participate in meaningful, purposeful and relevant studies. Rather than memorizing isolated facts, students will ponder and reflect upon big ideas that truly matter in the larger picture of life. For every unit, there are one or two of the core commonalities studied as threads that tie our learning together. We adhere to the brain research that supports helping students find connections across all learning.
Theme: Exploration
We explore the growth and development of our community to help us understand how these processes change and impact the world around us. We explore how things work, move, grow, and adapt to change. We discover our responsibilities to our community as citizens.
