Your third grader is expanding their critical thinking skills and becoming more independent in their learning. Our third grade language arts curriculum strengthens these abilities through creative writing and vocabulary building. In math, kids develop logical reasoning as they work with the four mathematical operations, foundations of algebra, geometry, and data analysis. In science, they engage in hands-on exploration and scientific inquiry while studying force, energy, weather, and space. In social studies, kids meet the character Vearl the Squirrel and apply inquiry-based learning to geography, history, civics, and economics.

Third graders are starting to understand cause and effect and can make connections between abstract concepts. Our curriculum harnesses these new abilities to extend understanding in key math concepts.

At Time4Learning, third graders discover that:

  • Numeration and number theory help us understand the connections numbers have with each other
  • The four operations are fundamental to math and are connected to each other
  • Fractions are a number that represents an amount less than one 
  • Different shapes can have shared attributes that form a larger category

Third graders' vocabulary is expanding rapidly and they are beginning to use language in more sophisticated ways like creative writing.

At Time4Learning, third graders explore:

  • The stages of the writing process: planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing
  • Vocabulary understanding that includes: synonyms, antonyms, prefixes, suffixes, homophones, and idioms
  • Integrated thematic chapters on a variety of topics that encourage students to use reading, writing, and thinking skills together

Our third grade social studies course is an interactive adventure. Learners will meet Bryson, the teacher, and Vearl, the squirrel, as they apply inquiry-based learning to geography, history, civics, and economics.

At Time4Learning third graders discover:

  • Earth's physical features through a study of geography and climate
  • Maps are tools to help us discover more about our planet
  • North American history and learn more about the colonies
  • Consumers, producers, markets and prices are connected to our every day lives and our community

Third graders are beginning to make connections between scientific concepts and real-life phenomena. Time4Learning nurtures this curiosity through a comprehensive science approach using the 5E Model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, and Evaluate.

At Time4Learning, third graders discover that:

  • Invisible forces like gravity, magnetism, and electricity affect the world around us
  • All living things—plants and animals—follow a unique life cycle
  • Species adapt over time, changing behaviors or physical traits based on their needs
  • Our solar system is made up of the sun, eight planets, and smaller celestial bodies

FAQs

Students typically spend 1-2 hours daily on Time4Learning, depending on your homeschooling goals or supplemental learning needs. You can adjust the schedule to suit your child’s pace and focus.

As a homeschooling family, the parent will provide the diploma and the transcript. However, Time4Learning offers printable templates and record-keeping that makes transcript and diploma creation easy for parents.

Yes! Time4Learning offers printable worksheets, educational games, and extension activities to reinforce learning. Parents can use these resources to deepen understanding and make lessons more hands-on.

Time4Learning is not accredited because it functions as a curriculum provider rather than a school. Our comprehensive learning program supports homeschooling and meets or exceeds state standards. Accreditation is not a requirement for homeschooling in any U.S. state. For this reason, colleges accept homeschooled students based on their merit, homeschool records, and transcripts.
