Goals of the Third Grade Full Curriculum: 
A significant upward step is evidenced in the material and the expectations of third graders. Up until this point testing has been limited and exclusively factual in nature. The emphasis in the grammar stage continues to be factual with the addition of simple essay questions, note-taking, and paragraph writing. Each week a brief writing assignment is given in Spelling and book reports no longer are limited to simple forms. To aid in the process, Covenant Home provides an excellent Transitional Note-Taking/Book Report Guide, which assists the student in thinking analytically and guides him in the mechanics of writing. Wonderful classical literature provides excellent subject matter for book reports, while the Skilltext reader continues the mechanics of critical thinking and other essential skills. Students are introduced to four of the parts of speech.
The primary Bible series, Suffer Little Children III is used, providing an excellent New Testament study. The Pilgrims of Plimoth enhances the study of the American history text which covers the formation of the Constitution, Westward Expansion, the Civil War, and Industrialization. Students learn to outline in third grade, with astonishing success! Multiplication is the main focus of math. Students are required to memorize multiplication tables. Science is continued with an emphasis on living things.
