GRADE 3!!!!!!!!!

Wait, what? How is my teeny baby in grade 3?
INSANE.

BIBLE

This year we are going back through The Action Bible paired up with The Action Bible Devotional. (We haven't started this yet as it hasn't come in yet but I am hoping it will be here this week).

SOCIALS

We have Outlooks 3: Our Communities  on order and have started Canada Map Book 2. We also picked up a giant map of Canada for Haye and he has been studying it in his room every night before bed.

MATH

We changed from Jump Math to Horizons Math Book 1 and Horizons Math Book 2. It is more expensive but Haye wasn't interested in doing Jump Math anymore. I have heard it doesn't cover Statistics or Probability very well, so we
picked up Deca Dice to supplement Math.

LANGUAGE ARTS 

We have the Farmer Boy Study Guide on order (Haye likes the Little House books a lot). Haye is also listening to many audiobooks and reading tons of novels. We did the grade 2 workbook last year and picked up Grammar & Punctuation 3 last week. Haye did really well this curriculum last year. We haven't started Spectrum Spelling Grade 3 yet but I have picked it up along with Just Write Book 2. Haye has a few lessons left in Just Write Book 1 that we are finishing before we move on.

SCIENCE

We are breaking up Science into 3 parts this year which we will cover in Fall, Winter, and Spring. In Fall we are going to be using Minecraft and K'NEX Intro to Structures: Bridges along with library books to cover Structures and Materials. In the Winter we will cover The Solar System, and in Spring we will learn about plants.

ART

We have no set curriculum for Art this year, but we will continue doing Visual Art. A friend of mine will be covering the key components to grade 3 Art with Haye once a week and we will be doing lots of painting and modelling etc. We will also be learning about artists and techniques through various library books.

GYM

Haye will go into Swimming lessons this fall and will continue to skateboard etc. He is extremely active.

HEALTH AND CAREER


We haven't decided what we are doing here yet, but we will have more information available by the end of the week.
