3rd Grade
In third grade, student use the foundations learned from previous years to begin reading to learn new information each day. Reading comprehension is practiced daily. There is a strong emphasis on multiplication and division fluency, as well as fractions. Students are expected to be responsible for class materials as they transition to a block schedule and rotation between teachers. Third grade is also the year students begin taking state standardized testing.

I grew up in Tullahoma, and attended Bel-Aire Elementary (where my mother was a 5th grade teacher), West Junior High and graduated from Tullahoma High School. I have a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from UTM, and a Master’s in curriculum from MTSU. My first 18+ years after college were spent as a military wife.
