Third Grade

Third grade marks a shift toward deeper comprehension and more independent learning.

Learners analyze texts, write for varied purposes, and apply math to real-world problems. Science and social studies emphasize reasoning, research, and responsibility through inquiry-based, hands-on investigations.

Below you’ll find documents that outline the key units taught throughout the school year in third grade. These overviews provide a high-level snapshot of the instructional sequence for each grade level. Each unit, module, or topic is linked to a more detailed unit plan, which includes the standards, essential content, and instructional focus. While the site is accessible to all stakeholders, some linked resources, such as assessments or copyrighted instructional materials, may only be accessible to staff.
