What You Will Learn This Year
Common Core Standards for Third Grade Language Arts (pdf)
Common Core Standards for Third Grade Math (pdf)
What are the Common Core Standards, and why do I care?
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were created at an attempt to offer a common learning experience to students across the 50 states. It also specifically focuses on preparing every student for college and/or a career throughout every grade level, K-12. These standards focus on specific skill sets that students need to master in order to be ready for college/career, and they are also the skills that students will be tested on. Third grade is the first year students encounter tests of these kind, which is why it is essential that you, as a guardian, have understanding of what is being required of them. They will need all the help they can get at home if they are to overcome the new challenges they will face this year.
