In Science, Third graders will be introduced to the wonders of the five senses, classifying animals and learning about their habitats, and studying basic weather information.

 GENERAL SKILLS AND CONCEPTS

BIBLE CONCEPTS

Our Bible curriculum focuses on helping students understand that God is their creator, who loves them and cares deeply for them. The students continue to develop and deepen their relationship with God as they listen to Bible lessons, memorize scripture, sing praise songs and pray together during a morning devotion and Bible class. Scripture memorization is utilized and Bible characters are studied so students will learn to trust in God’s promises and apply Godly virtues to their lives.
