Third grade is off to a great start. We have begun our first story path which is all about castles. We watched a film to launch us on our quest for a lot of information about life in the castle. By the end of the trimester your children will have learned about why and how castles were built and will build some themselves. They will take on the various roles which were important to running a castle. They will be using their writing and reading skills as we take this journey.
