3rd Grade

Welcome to third grade at Arnold Public Schools!

In third grade, we enjoy using cooperative learning to help us when working on math, science and social studies.  We are very excited about reading all kinds of books, fiction and nonfiction!  We also work on narrative, expository and persuasive writing.  We work on all of these things each day in a positive environment where we believe that we can learn and succeed!
