Third Grade
Third grade is an exciting year for students at Windsor Oaks Elementary School.  Our new reading series includes a variety of genres. The students will be reading stories and responding to them in their journals.  We have implemented the Guided Reading program which allows for more small group interaction.  Our math curriculum begins with adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers and also covers multiplication, division,  geometry, fractions, and measurement as our school year continues.  Our science curriculum is filled with hands-on activities that help us learn about habitats, simple machines, gardening, and matter.  We have the opportunity to include some excellent projects to help us incorporate our SOLs into each topic.  The social studies curriculum begins with a unit on map skills.  Other units for this subject are explorations and settlements, Greece, Rome, Mali, our economy, and learning about governing ourselves.  Third graders also learn how to write in cursive and in January, begin writing more assignments in cursive.  Furthermore, our students are part of the Accelerated Reader program in which they earn points through reading comprehension in exchange for rewards.  Our extensive curriculum provides us with many opportunities to relate our SOL objectives so that we are all fully-prepared for the spring SOL test.
