During the fi rst quarter in the Goodness Fruit Stand, the saints learn to announce goodness through their spiritual, social, and academic lives. They discover that our world is infl uenced by historical fi gures who announced their beliefs and whose actions led to life changing announcements. As Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego announced a belief in God, entire nations were infl uenced socially. Christ was even announced in the Old Testament prior to His birth. As they read Charlotte s Web, they learn how the written word can be used to announce and persuade beliefs. Charlotte used her web writings to announce Wilbur s goodness. Goodness is not only announced in history and writings; it can be declared through God s creation and announced through academics in science and math. The ACOs are observed during whole group instruction, cooperative learning activities, independent work, small group time, and project based learning.

In Mr. Popper s Penguins, Mr. Popper and his family must learn about economics and how to work together for a common goal. When they work together to save the penguins, they are connected on a deeper level. Goodness advances when we work together in the Spirit of Christ. Saints grow spiritually as they advance goodness and share their unique gifts and talents with each other as 1 Corinthians 12 explains. This quarter they study social advancements in history and learn how the Bible withstood the test of time. They discover how God designed ecosystems to be balanced so goodness could advance in nature also. Finally, the saints further advance their reading and writing, and measurement skills. The ACOs are observed during whole group instruction, cooperative learning activities, independent work, small group time, and project based learning.

6 Bible Academic Content Objectives Central Christian Academy teaches Bible because it is the inspired Word of God and the means to which the Holy Spirit can instruct us. Everything in the Bible is written to teach us. Through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we have hope. (Romans 15:4) Through studying the Bible, saints will believe that Jesus is the Son of God (John 20:31). While the third grade saint will take a daily Bible course, the content of this book is woven into all areas of instruction and life at our school. The Bible course for third grade focuses on the fruit of the Spirit and its quality of goodness. The saints will discover that everything good exists because of Him. The course requires saints to study Bible characters and books in the end of the Old Testament during the first semester. The final semester, the saints will dive into the life of Christ. The studies parallel their history course. As they study, they will focus on their own character and discover ways the Holy Spirit can show goodness in their own lives today. First Quarter - Bible Goodness Announced B.ACO 3.1 Jesus in the Beginning The saint will learn that God s good plan of redemption through Christ existed before the fall of man. They will understand that Christ and the goodness of God was prophesized in the beginning Genesis, John 1:1-14 SS.ACO.3.5 Haggai Buildings protect us. The saint will learn about the prophet, Haggai and his push to have the Isrealites rebuild the Temple. They will discover that God has a specific plan and wants to use each of their lives to accomplish that plan. They will begin to grasp the idea that they are God s temple today and the message of Haggai to be busy building the house of God! They must protect their hearts and make themselves a temple worthy for Christ to live inside of. Habakkuk, Daniel B.ACO.3.2 Habakkuk The saint will learn about the prophet: Habakkuk. His name means to embrace or wrestle. It relates to the fact that he was wrestling with a difficult issue. If God is good, then why is there evil in the world? And if there has to be evil, then why do the evil prosper? What is God doing in the world? The saint will discover the progression Habakkuk makes from questioning God to trusting God, allows him to prophesize Goodness. Second Quarter - Bible Goodness Accepted Esther, Haggai B.ACO 3.3 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego The saint will learn about the courage these men had to stand up for what was good. Truly believing in God s goodness, means going through a fire (figuratively) while knowing God will be there. B.ACO 3.4 Daniel The saint will study Daniel, learn how his confidence and faithfulness demonstrated God s goodness in all circumstances. The saint will learn that having confidence and faith in God is what makes every situation good.

8 language arts Academic Content Objectives Central Christian Academy teaches Language Arts because through speaking, reading, and writing, students will be able to better understand God s Word and communicate its message to others (2 Timothy 2:15). Reading and the use of literature continues to be a priority in third grade. Saints will be immersed in four examples of award winning literature. The Whipping Boy, Charlotte s Web, Mr. Popper s Penguins, and Shiloh serve as the primary text for students to develop their Language Arts skills. They will be asked to evaluate the literature from a Biblical perspective and compare story events to the goodness of God. The first two books fall within a typical third grade level text. The final two books are above grade level. Saints whose reading scores indicate they are below the text level will be provided additional support while those above range will be given additional, more challenging reading material. In addition to these four main resources, third graders will learn comprehension strategies for other fiction and nonfiction literature, which relates to all areas of the curriculum. The saint will use effective communication skills in group activities and will present brief oral reports. Reading comprehension strategies will be applied in all subjects, with emphasis on materials that reflect CCA s academic content objectives in mathematics, science, and history and social science. The saint will plan, draft, revise, and edit stories, simple explanations, and short reports. In addition, the student will gather and use information from print and electronic sources. The saint also will write legibly in cursive. All Language Arts lessons and topics will be approached from the perspective that God s Word is the ultimate authority for Truth. Whenever possible, language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, art, music, and/or physical education objectives will be integrated into combined lessons.

10 math Academic Content Objectives Central Christian Academy teaches Mathematics because God designed our world with precision. The study of Mathematics at Central Christian Academy is more than the study of numbers alone. It is the study of how math reflects the perfection of God s creation. Through this course, saints will discover a relationship between creation and mathematics. It will help saints gain a greater understanding of who God is. Through daily calendar and literature unit activities, third grade saints will see that math skills are essential to their everyday lives. They will see that mathematical concepts are a part of God s design and perfect plan for His creation. The third grade academic content objectives in math place emphasis on learning multiplication and division facts through the twelve s table. Saints will be fluent in the addition facts and the corresponding subtraction facts. Concrete materials and two-dimensional representations will be used to introduce addition and subtraction with fractions and the concept of probability as chance. Saints will use standard units (U.S. Customary and metric) to measure temperature, length, liquid volume, and weight and identify relevant properties of shapes, points, line segments, rays, angles, vertices, and lines. Saints will investigate and describe the identity and commutative properties for addition and multiplication. While learning mathematics, saints will be actively engaged, using concrete materials and appropriate technologies such as calculators and computers. However, facility in the use of technology shall not be regarded as a substitute for a student s understanding of quantitative concepts and relationships for proficiency in basic computations. Mathematics has its own language, and the acquisition of specialized vocabulary and language patterns is crucial to a saint s understanding and appreciation of the subject. Saints should be encouraged to correctly use the concepts, skills, symbols, and vocabulary identified in the following set of objectives. Problem solving has been integrated throughout the six content strands. The development of problem-solving skills should be a major goal of the mathematics program at every grade level. Instruction in the process of problem solving will need to be integrated early and continuously into each student s mathematics education. Saints must be helped to develop a wide range of skills and strategies for solving a variety of problem types. The following objectives, while aligned with the Third Grade Mathematics Virginia Standards of Learning, have been adjusted to include Biblical principles and the specific curriculum used at Central Christian Academy. M.ACO 3.1 The saint will a) read and write six-digit numerals and identify the place value and value of each digit; b) round whole numbers, 9,999 or less, to the nearest ten, hundred, and thousand; and c) compare two whole numbers between 0 and 9,999, using symbols (>, <, or = ) and words (greater than, less than, or equal to).

12 science Academic Content Objectives Throughout the Year Scientific Investigation, Reasoning, and Logic S.ACO 3.1 The saint will demonstrate an understanding of science as it relates to Biblical Truth by planning and conducting investigations in which a) observations are made and are repeated to ensure accuracy; b) predictions are formulated using Biblical knowledge along with a variety of resources; c) objects with similar characteristics or properties are classified into at least two sets and two subsets; d) God made events are sequenced chronologically; e) length, volume, mass, and temperature are estimated and measured in metric and standard English units using proper tools and techniques; f) time is measured to the nearest minute using proper tools and techniques; g) questions are developed to formulate hypotheses; h) data are gathered, charted, graphed, analyzed and compared to God s Word; i) unexpected or unusual quantitative data are recognized and associated with the existence of God; j) inferences are made and conclusions are drawn; k) data are communicated; l) models are designed and built; and m) current applications are used to reinforce different concepts. Central Christian Academy teaches Science because it is important for saints to gain an understanding of the world God created. Science should open a child s mind to the wonders of creation and see how it reveals God s glory. The scientific process and investigations help our saints to think through God s purpose and His expectations for how we should take care of the earth. The third grade academic content objectives for science place increasing emphasis on conducting investigations. Saints are expected to be able to develop questions, formulate simple hypotheses, make predictions, gather data, and use the metric system with greater precision. Using information to make inferences and draw conclusions about God s creation becomes more important. In the area of physical science, the objectives focus on simple and compound machines, energy, and a basic understanding of matter. Behavioral and physical adaptations are examined in relation to the needs God provides for the animals. God s creation is further explored in aquatic and terrestrial food chains and the diversity within our ecosystems. Patterns are demonstrated in terms of the phases of the moon, tides, seasonal changes, the water cycle, and animal and plant life cycles. Geological concepts along with Biblical accounts of the flood are introduced through the investigation of the components of soil. The following objectives, while aligned with the Third Grade Science Virginia Standards of Learning, have been adjusted to include Biblical principles and the specific curriculum used at Central Christian Academy.

16 physical education Academic Content Objectives Central Christian Academy believes that their saints need to be physically active to grow properly. According to the National Association of Sports and Physical Education (NASPE), elementary classes should spend 150 minutes every week in physical education. Since God chooses our bodies for His temple and dwelling place, it is important that we take care of them (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Therefore, CCA places a priority on children being active at school and emphasizes a strong physical education program. Saints in third grade refine, vary, and combine skills in complex situations and demonstrate more proficient movement patterns in educational game, exercise, and gymnastic activities. Saints identify critical elements (small, isolated parts of the whole skill or movement) and apply them in their movement. They develop fitness knowledge and can relate regular physical activity to health benefits. They know safe practices, rules, and procedures and apply them with little or no reinforcement. Saints work cooperatively with peers and understand that there are many differences in movement skill and ability levels among members of their class. The following objectives, while aligned with the Third Grade Physical Education Virginia Standards of Learning, have been adjusted to include Biblical principles and the specific curriculum used at Central Christian Academy. Skilled Movement PE.ACO 3.1 The saint will apply locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills in increasingly complex movement activities. a) Demonstrate most of the critical elements (small, isolated parts of the whole skill or movement) for manipulative skills (e.g., throw and catch a variety of objects, kick to stationary and moving partners/ objects, dribble with dominant hand/foot, pass a ball to a moving partner). b) Use manipulative skills in movement combinations (e.g., perform manipulative tasks while dodging and moving in different pathways; catch a rolled ball while moving, and throw it back to a partner). c) Demonstrate moving to a rhythm (e.g., perform simple movements in various formations, develop and refine a creative educational exercise sequence). d) Refine individual gymnastics skills, and perform educational gymnastic sequences with balance, transfer of weight, travel, and change of direction. Movement Principles and Concepts PE.ACO 3.2 The saint will apply movement principles in increasingly complex movement activities. a) Apply the concept of relationships while moving in space and using non-locomotor and manipulative skills. b) Apply the principles of relationships when working with a partner while moving (e.g., passing a ball in front of a moving partner).
