Novel reading and activities play an important role in third grade. Spelling activities serve to reinforce specific spelling rules.

Our Role in St. Paul's City

The third grade class is the Chamber of Commerce for our city. We promote good citizenship by leading the pledges each morning at Town Meeting. We have ribbon-cutting ceremonies to celebrate the opening of businesses. We register voters and conduct elections for class-representatives and city officials. We also collect taxes and rent for the city. We make payments to and collect fines for "Chance" drawings each week. We also make and deliver "Welcome" bags to new students. We assist the 1st grade during Monday and Wednesday Chapel.
