Your child will be entering a critical phase in their development around the 9th year of age, marking the transition from the unity and oneness experienced in early childhood to the development of an inner world separate from family, friends and beyond. Each child experiences this differently. However, common experiences can be anger, fear, feeling misunderstood or alone, and awareness of mortality. Be present for your child, open to listening, and trust that this is a phase of development that every child must go through on their path to independence.
Year 3 themes focus on practical skills and practical arts. When your child can cook, build a shelter, and make simple garments, a feeling of self-sufficiency helps develop their confidence. Story themes focus on tribal cultures that lost their home, had to wander alone for some time, and eventually found their way through a connection to their inner knowing.

Year Overview
This purchase includes a digital download (PDF) of all 10 months of curriculum for Grade 3, as well as access to our members-only content with supporting documents, videos, resources and community.
Month 1: The Wonder of Beginnings
As your child begins to feel the dreamy aspects of childhood passing away, it is a great time to use Creation Stories to guide them to reconnect with the people and world around them. They will hear stories from their local Indigenous culture as well as other global cultural/religious stories. These stories tell of beginnings, loss, and a search for connection. Such stories will form the basis of the third-grade year and mimic the emotional state of the eight and nine-year-old.
Month 2:
The Wonder of Fibers
From the Creation stories, your child will hear about first people; the next step for those characters was to find/create clothing. They will hear about six natural fibers humans use to create protection for their skin.
Month 3: The Wonder of Shelters
After clothing, humans needed to find/create shelter. You and your child will explore different types of shelters from long ago for different climates and based on resources.
Month 4: The Wonder of Measurement: Linear
You will guide your child to begin the study of linear measurement, starting with stories of how it came to be that humans wanted to measure and how they agreed on a method of measurement.

Month 6: The Wonder of Measurement: Mass & Capacity

Month 8: The Wonder of Time
