Stevenson School Third Graders learn, play and grow in the “Pirates’ Cove,” engaged in a specially designed program created to provide daily challenge, support, joy, and success. In Third Grade, as in all Stevenson grades, teachers work to build strong relationships with both children and parents, knowing children achieve the most positive growth when family life and school community work in concert. Teachers plan appropriate learning experiences for each student in the Third Grade classroom, and carefully assess each individual student’s academic, physical and social/emotional needs. We place a particular emphasis on growth in the areas of independence, confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving competence. At this developmental stage of ages 7-9 years, students are naturally inclined to expand their interests and abilities, and to take pride of ownership in their and others' accomplishments.
Another primary objective in the Third Grade is to inspire a love of learning and an appreciation for the interrelatedness of all disciplines, especially as they reflect on our greater world community. Instructional learning groups are diverse, fluid, and flexible in order to enhance effectiveness in relation to learning goals. Collaboration, partnerships, small and large group work, whole class and individual guidance, and reinforcement are all provided depending on the needs of the learners. Enrichment and attention to special needs are offered to provide for optimum challenge.
Stevenson Third Grade is a dynamic, vibrant classroom; just right for its energetic and enthusiastic Third Grade Pirates!
