With ease and flexibility, CHC Lesson Plans guide you through all core and non-core subjects while providing enrichment activities to engage and challenge a third-grade student. Growing in maturity and acquiring independent learning skills are important goals this year. These skills are reinforced in a variety of ways: all core subjects encourage independent work; Independent Study Charts guide the student through the subjects; and "Independent Learning Ideas" are offered throughout the lesson plan.

This lesson plan features independent study charts, creative book report ideas, reading comprehension worksheets, "Tour a Country" Course, and an inspirational Rosary project. The "ready-to-go" ideas in the supplemental student courses make these lesson plans especially popular. Easily adaptable, complementary additions to your Social Studies and Religion courses! And don't overlook the benefit of creative book report ideas for the reluctant writer. In addition, a wealth of material enhances the subjects: 50 Memory Gems, reading comprehension worksheets, illustrated "Books Read" charts, and illustrated charts (chores, virtue, service), recess and P.E. ideas, 22 Catholic math games, and more.
