3rd Grade

At De La Salle School, third grade marks an exciting and important transition in a child's educational journey. Building upon the foundational skills developed in kindergarten through second grade, students begin moving from learning to read to reading to learn, using their growing knowledge and confidence to explore more challenging concepts across all subjects.

Our third grade program emphasizes greater independence, responsibility, and critical thinking. Students strengthen their reading comprehension, expand their writing skills, master multiplication and division concepts, and engage in hands-on science and social studies activities. Through collaborative projects, classroom discussions, and creative problem-solving opportunities, students learn to think independently, communicate effectively, and take ownership of their learning.

As students prepare for the increased academic expectations of fourth grade, our dedicated teacher provides the guidance, encouragement, and individualized support needed to help each child succeed. Students develop stronger organizational skills, effective study habits, and the confidence to approach new challenges with a positive mindset.

Rooted in our Catholic faith, third grade students continue growing spiritually through prayer, religious education, service, and meaningful opportunities to demonstrate kindness, compassion, and leadership.

At De La Salle, third grade is more than another year of learning. It is a bridge between the foundational elementary years and the growing independence of upper elementary school, preparing our Spartans to become confident scholars, compassionate leaders, and lifelong learners.
