*New learners are welcome at any point in the year!

This is a full year of 3rd-grade curriculum taught by a Georgia-certified teacher. We will cover 3rd-grade standards in math, reading, writing, grammar, phonics, science, and social studies. This class meets for 50 minutes every Monday-Thursday, covering one subject live each day. Along with live class meetings, week-long projects, games, and assignments will be given for each subject to continue the learning. If ever a learner misses a live class, a recording of the class will be sent to them.

For math and reading, we typically cover one unit per week, with built-in reviews throughout the year to retain what we have learned. For writing/grammar/phonics, we cover one grammar or phonics skill a week and then work on a long writing over several weeks. For science and social studies, we go back and forth between science and social studies units. Our social studies lessons also highlight key historical figures as a means to teach about certain events.

Each week, your learner will have a choice of projects to complete for a grade. They will choose one project to complete that will integrate subjects from the week and receive a grade between 0-100%. These projects are as simple as writing a report to constructing an experiment and have options for every type of learner so your child can learn and master in their own way.

Our weekly schedule is as follows:
Monday: Math
Tuesday: Reading
Wednesday: Writing/Grammar/Phonics
Thursday: Science or Social Studies

We use the Common Core Standards for math and ELA, the Next Generation Science Standards for science, and the Georgia Department of Education standards for social studies along with a few historical figures throughout the year.
