In the Third Grade ELA anchor course, you will explore the wonderful world of The Wind in the Willows, dive into Folktales, explore Light and Sound, and more! Projects include infographics, research, narrative writing, and a biography. Each week, you will complete comprehension activities and read independently in the reader. Have fun learning and growing! Get ready for an awesome adventure in the Third Grade ELA course! We're diving into both literature and science. Students will get to explore classics like The Wind in the Willows, check out cool Folktales, and investigate Light and Sound. You will work on fun projects, including making infographics, doing research, writing narrative stories, and writing a biography. Plus, we'll have weekly comprehension activities and independent reading time to keep the learning going!

Students will turn in 8 required assessments per semester. These required assessments alternate between investigating grade-level concepts by choosing an assignment from a choice board and turning in a curriculum check-in. Each choice board offers both online and pencil-and-paper options. The curriculum check-ins will be graded based on each student's progress in their individual curriculum. This new aspect of the class will encourage students to make progress through the grade-level class. 

Anchor classes are asynchronous, teacher-led classes. Students do NOT have a live meeting. Daily work is provided, and the anchor teacher grades the final weekly assignment. Teachers provide biweekly videos and add instructional supports to each day's lesson. For more information about the curriculum and assignments, please visit the Braintree website.
