Science:  Our philosophy  is that the world that exists, was created by God.  Our study of life science is based on exploring God's World.  We begin the year studying the Nervous System and learn how both God created the body in ways to protect it.  Students also learn ways they can protect their bodies.  A great deal of emphasis is placed on the study of plants and animals.  Some projects include planting seeds and categorizing animal pictures into a notebook.  The notebook is broken down into Vertebrates and Invertebrates.  Other studies included the Desert, Ocean, Forests, Farmer's Field, and Weather.  The course text is Exploring God's World by A Beka.  The studies also include the use of tradebooks, cassettes, videos, experiments, and hands on activities.

Reading:  Since the fundamentals of phonics has been set in the previous grades, the students are now ready to  further their learning by reading.  The use of chapter books such as Sarah, Plain and Tall, Skylark, Sign of the Beaver, Pilgrim Boy, Charlotte's Web, Stone Fox, and the A Beka Reading series for third grade are studied.  Comprehension Questions on the various levels of Blooms taxonomy are used to encourage thinking skills.  Other activities entail:  discussions, vocabulary tests, dramas, contests, writings, crafts, videos, creative booklets, title pages on the computer, and crossword puzzles.  The goal is for each child to become an independent reader. Actions of various characters are challenged according to Christian principles.

Spelling: Students review phonics sounds and spellings. Each spelling list contains words related to other subject areas. Vocabulary words and defenitions complete the list. Workbooks are used to challenge the learner.

Penmanship:  Students are taught from the biblical perspective to form letters correctly so words and thoughts are communicated clearly.  Letter formation, slant, alignment, and spacing are areas of greatest concentration.

Language Arts:  The language arts consists of learning capitalization, punctuation, usage, synonyms, antonyms, and homophones with the use of A Beka Workbooks.  The Write on Track Text examplifies basic writing skills for developing stories, plays, poems, and reports.

Social Studies:  Our Communities by Macmillan McGraw-Hill, 2005,  uses the eight strands of Social Studies which include:  citizenship, geography, social
studies skills, government, history, science, technology, and society, culture, and economics.  It includes 5 units which include People Build Communities, Communities Have History, Communities at Work, Communities Have Governments, and Many Cultures, One Country.    The following questions will be answered:  How does the land shape a community?  How have communities changed?  What jobs do people do? How does government work in our country?  What cultures make up our community?

Bible:  The Hero's of Faith, Servants of God curriculum portrays a model for children of this age group.  The hero is a person of significance who makes mistakes and is faithful in asking forgiveness.  All of us have the potential to be a hero in God's eyes.  The study includes men, women, and children who perform deeds of valor as well as humble acts of faithfulness, love, moral, and strength.  One activity that is a big hit with students is drawing symbols on a T-shirt (with fabric markers) which reflects a reminder of a particular faith hero from our study.  Many games are also played with the faith-hero cards which pictures and lists important faithful happenings.
