My twins have moved into the upper grades of Elementary School. They are third graders which is crazy to me. I remember being in third grade! Third grade was my favorite.
My kids are just as curious as ever and I want to encourage them to follow their interests, ask questions and learn. Our learning starts with their interests wherever we can and is full of field trips, games, art, books, videos and lots of hands on exploration.
So below are the learning experiences for third, fourth and fifth grade. Field trips, walks, thematic units, etc.
