By the time your children are in 3rd Grade, they are likely starting to want to talk through their opinions and what they think about. You might be having some conversations about what you believe and why, and seeing if they agree or disagree. This is the perfect time to homeschool.

Sonlight gives you choices, and this year you have the opportunity to study a broad overview of world cultures, or World History (Creation to Fall of Rome, the Middle Ages through WWI, or even a broad sweep to cover both periods). There isn't one right answer and there isn't one perfect place to start. We love all the options here.
This year, you will be using books to expand what you learn: through biographies, historical fiction, Bible readings, and engaging stories. You'll be able to see issues and events from multiple views, perspectives and voices. In third grade, we shy away from discussing too many harsh realities of our early history, while still allowing your children to see where we as people have come from.
You have several options for your choice of history this year. You can start with an introduction to people and cultures around the world, or you could study a broad overview of World History, or World History in-depth. History is the base for the History / Bible / Literature programs as well as All-Subjects Packages.
Sonlight's Instructor's Guide (IG) is your complete 3rd Grade homeschool schedule. But it doesn't just combine all of your subjects and make sure you are learning about important events, it also offers you notes, activity sheets, discussion questions, map points and more. You have everything you need from the beginning: just open to the first week and start. With Sonlight's IGs, instead of a stack of books and worksheets, you have a curriculum. Our IGs are the backbone of your History / Bible / Literature or All-Subjects Sonlight program, and equip you to teach with ease.
This year in language arts, you'll cover spelling, writing mechanics, paragraph construction and creative expression. The unique Diamond Notes method guides you step-by-step through the process of teaching your children to write winning paragraphs.
At this level, you get to choose a Language Arts and Reading program that matches your children's ability based on both reading and writing. We recognize that children's abilities vary greatly during these younger years, and, so we offer more Language Arts programs than there are years. That way, wherever your child is with reading and writing, they can find a program where they can be successful. See your Language Arts options here and take a placement test.
Please note: Spelling and Vocabulary is already built in to your lesson plans at this level. Spelling and vocabulary words are from the reading you share with your students. This makes practice a natural addition to your homeschool day. We do offer additional resources, but do not suggest using them until 4th grade.
For 3rd Grade handwriting, we include Handwriting Without Tears Cursive in our All-Subjects Package. Your children will learn to write neatly, with speed and confidence. Lowercase letters are taught first. The teaching pages feature large step-by-step illustrations and child-friendly language. This program teaches easy techniques for connections and capitals.
If you aren't interested in teaching cursive, you can choose the handwriting program of your choice and still enjoy our best discount of 20% off. Check out all of your Handwriting options here.
From electricity and magnetism to ecosystems, Science C nurtures children’s natural curiosity and provides daily opportunities to explore the world around them. They will use real scientific skills and practices as they explore living things, ecosystems, chemistry, meteorology, fossils, seas and oceans. Science C includes a high-level introduction to robots, inventions and other STEM topics that will prepare students for a lifetime of scientific curiosity, learning and application.

3rd Grade math is the start of multiplication for single and multiple-digit numbers. Your children will use strategies based on place value and properties of operations to multiply. They will continue to work out how to solve for an unknown, how to solve abstract and real-world problems using addition, subtraction and multiplication.
While multiplication is the main focus, your children will also cover things like: measuring and computing area; skip counting as a precursor to multiplication; adding and subtracting time in hours and minutes; multiplying, adding, and subtracting U.S. currency and standard units of measure; representing, recording, and interpreting data; and estimating and solving measurement problems.
Math-U-See Gamma is included with Sonlight's 3rd Grade All-Subjects Package. Learn more about your other 3rd Grade Math options here.
