3RD-4TH GRADE PROGRAM

Your child will gain a lifelong enthusiasm for reading as they learn to read using the Abeka phonics-first approach. You’ll see your child master phonics and watch their reading comprehension skills grow as they read delightful stories with character-building themes. As their reading and spelling skills improve, creative writing becomes a natural outflow as they organize thoughts into sentences and apply their grammar knowledge in order to communicate. Learning and practicing the proper formation of letters and the correct spacing between letters, words, and sentences helps perfect writing skills for a good overall appearance. Learning computation skills, problem-solving skills, and how to apply arithmetic concepts exercises their reasoning and thinking abilities. In science, health, and history and geography, they’ll learn about God’s world and begin to appreciate it more as they venture into a biographical study of people who made an impact on America. Most importantly, studying lives of real people in the Bible will help them learn how to respond to situations in their own life. Finally, art rounds out the academic program.

CURRICULUM

What we cover

Abeka offers comprehensive, biblically-based curriculum with a traditional, spiral learning approach. Abeka’s original curriculum textbooks are researched and written by veteran educators, then tested in the real world. Every tool, resource, and textbook is based on Christian beliefs. Daily classes include Bible, history, arithmetic, language, spelling, and science.

SCHEDULE

What a typical day looks like

We meet at 8:30 am every morning in the sanctuary for the prayer and pledge. From there, we move into our classrooms and work on grade level specific language, reading, writing, spelling, and arithmetic lessons. Learners come together for bible, art, history, health, and science class.
