Third grade marks the end of the primary years for students. That means students must begin to get ready for the middle school years but still be& able to be primary students. At St. John, we begin to do a lot of projects and group work with the students. Some of the 3rd grade activities include:

• Religion every day with chapel on Thursdays
• Chapel service leadership once a year
• Choir every Tuesday afternoon
Book projects for reading State reports
• Defiance Public Library author Visit at Defiance College
• Defiance Police Department safety belt presentation
• Reading Counts tests for trade books
• Enrichment activities with reading series
• Christmas Around the World activities
• Trip to Grand rapids and the canal boat experience
• Service projects:
• St. Jude Childrens' Research Hospital Math-a-thon
• American Hear Association Jump Rope for Heart
• St. John food pantry support

There is also much time spent on working on relationships between students and how students should treat one another with respect. Jesus is a part of our school day in all areas as we discuss what Jesus would want us to do.
