Goals and Expectations: We expect every third grader to be a hard worker and try their best at everything we do. STAAR preparation is a crucial piece in our curriculum therefore it’s pertinent that our students focus daily in order to perform at a level of excellence on STAAR.

We strive to build a solid foundation for each student to take with them to the next grade level.
 
Our Year at a Glance:  Our third graders take part in a Balanced Literacy Program here at RRE.  Each chapter book that we read, also lends itself to aligned curriculum in Science and Social Studies.
