Third Grade Skills Unit 5: Adventures in Light and Sound

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Light and sound are the themes of a unit focused on third-grade skills. Scholars practice spelling patterns, grammar—adverbs, adjectives, synonyms, writing sentences with conjunctions, and listening and responding to read-aloud. Over three weeks, learners participate in lessons and pause for assessments.
