Grade 3 Online

Description

You want to be personally involved in your child’s education, but need all the time planning required in lieu of quality instruction. You want him to gain that all-important foundation in reading, develop character through good routines and habits, and develop a love of learning! Enjoy the best of both worlds, homeschooling and a traditional Christian school classroom with Abeka Academy! Our experienced creative video teachers bring new ideas to bring third grade content to life. With Abeka Academy’s virtual program, you can easily homeschool more than one child at a time, even when your family is away.

As your child becomes familiar with the students in the videos, he will feel like he is part of the class. The teacher will even stop and let the “watching students” take turns participating in games, competitions, and drills! While enjoying the fun and expanded learning of a classroom experience, your child will receive one-on-one instruction at home as you listen to him read and recite, administer tests and quizzes, and review his papers.

Pre-recorded online video streams or DVDs give you the flexibility to set your own daily schedule. The video rental provides a full 12 months to complete 170 lessons.

• Reading. This year’s reading includes 6 new themed collections and 6 novels, covering Robert Louis Stevenson, Patricia MacLachlan, Laura Ingalls Wilder, AA Milne and more Famous works of man! Help your students “dig deep” into each work by focusing on its rich literary components.
• Language and calligraphy. There are nouns, verbs, adjectives, and word usages presented in fun themes like World Zoos, Outer Space, Nocturnal Animals, and more! Third grade students will further develop proper penmanship and typography skills through writing exercises that include Bible verses and creative writing.
• Spelling and poetry. 34 weekly spelling lists including vocabulary, definitions, and creative exercises that will turn your students into spelling artists! With larger formats, new artwork, and multi-sensory enrichment activities, spelling and poetry will become popular subjects in your class! This year’s poetry will introduce students to the great works of British and American literature.
• Arithmetic. This year your students will master multiplication and division! Help your students progress from known concepts to unknown concepts, gradually mastering fractions and learning subtraction, addition, and subtraction by arranging concepts in a logical sequence. Learning math can be fun through fun facts and the art of theme coordination!
• History. Reading biographies of 50 historical figures—from Christopher Columbus to Martin Luther King—not only gives your students a chronological understanding of history, but also inspires character development for them to emulate. Take your students into a deeper understanding of the founding, expansion, and modernization of our great nation.
• Science and health. For curious third graders, learning about the bodies, plants, animals and their habitats they inhabit, and the weather is more than just an academic activity—it’s fun!
• Art. This workbook contains seasonal projects to help your students further develop their colouring, sketching, painting, shaping and modeling skills. Your artist will learn primary, secondary, and complementary colors while creating with chalks and shading.
