Grade 3
In elementary school, children learn how to learn—and remember—new information. Students study a variety of subjects. These help them develop both creativity and critical-thinking skills. These skills are what they’ll need to meet the challenges in later years.
Grades K–5 set the foundation for:
- reading
- writing
- listening
- speaking
- math
- science
- social studies
- health
- physical education
- the arts
