Welcome to the Third Grade web page!
Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants. Deuteronomy 32:2
Every day in third grade is a gift from above. Together, we are on a mission and ask God to help us guide and direct each child one step at a time.
Third grade is an important year for students. It's a transitional year as they move from primary to intermediate level. All three teachers are committed to teaching and modeling godly behavior, excellence in academics, and a deep and abiding faith.
