3rd Grade Team
Third grade is a year of growth for most students. This is the first year that students start to take the GA Milestones test so the rigor of the standards increase from 2nd to 3rd and expectations tighten as they enter 3rd grade. In 3rd grade, we are the starting blocks to building a strong foundation for upper grade learning.
