3rd Grade
Welcome to 3rd Grade at Noah Webster Schools!
3rd grade is a big year for our students. They are no longer in the “younger half” of grade levels—they are growing older, wiser and even taller! Not to mention they are learning to solve more and more complex problems.
While technology is nothing new for our 3rd graders, it is something that they have learned to work with, navigate on and use to benefit them in their education; all things we strive to promote here at Noah Webster Schools. It is through this structured curriculum that our teachers encourage 3rd graders to ask questions and try their very best!
During the school year, 3rd grades will apply their in-classroom learning to the outside world by attending scheduled fieldtrips. Students will discover different methods of learning and experience firsthand how the subjects, topics and overall curriculum taught in the classroom relate to real-life scenarios. Our scheduled fieldtrips vary throughout each school year, in previous 3rd grade students have taken exciting trips to the Boyce Thomson Arboretum, Arizona Museum of Natural History, AZ Space and Science Center, Liberty Wildlife Refuge, and the IMAX Theater.

3rd Grade Supply List
Dear Parents,
Welcome back! The third-grade teaching team would like to welcome you to third grade. We look forward to meeting you virtually at Open House on Saturday, August 15, 2020. More information about Open House will be coming soon.
We are doing things a little differently from previous years to ensure the health and safety of all students and staff. First, we are no longer having shared classroom supplies. Each child will have his or her own materials and supplies. Secondly, we are attempting to maximize space in the classroom, therefore we are sending out a minimal list of supplies your child will need. Teachers may request some additional supplies throughout the year as the need arises.
Please, remember to label all of your student’s belongings (jacket, water bottle, backpack, and lunch box) in addition to their supplies, with first and last name. This will help locate them should items become lost.
If your child will not be attending Noah Webster Schools, please contact the front office at 480.291.6900 (Pima) or 480.986.2335 (Mesa).

Testimonials
I just wanted to take a moment to say how much we appreciate Noah Webster School. Our daughter is in Miss Tice’s Kindergarten class and talk about one amazing teacher! I never could have expected to have such a warm, energetic and compassionate teacher for our daughter. She puts so much energy and time into each day of learning, and my daughter literally cries if she is sick and cannot go to school. We look forward to our school adventure with Noah Webster. You all are a blessing to our family.
An excerpt from a 6th grade alumni to his 6th grade teacher: “I just wanted to thank you for pushing me and my classmates as hard as you did. I recently took a math test to determine whether or not I should be placed in an advanced seventh grade class. Just yesterday, the results were received, my work was dubbed exceptional and they wish to place me in a freshman algebra class in high school! Of course I wasn’t the only one to do so, but one of the few. Thank you so much for everything, you will never be forgotten.”
On the first day of school, while I was walking down the hall, I was kind of nervous because it was a new school. But when I walked in the classroom, I recognized some people I already knew, and that made me feel a bit better. I have learned so many things this year, such as integers, Ancient Greece, and oxymorons. I have also learned things that will help me be a better person. I learned that respect is one of the most important qualities to have in life. My teacher is wonderful. She has empathy (most of the time) for us. She knows what it’s like to be in different kinds of situations, she knows how to cheer someone up, or make them feel regretful (when we misbehave). She understands our problems and gives us advice on how to solve them, whether it’s from personal problems to math or reading problems. We went on a lot of field trips this year. My favorite one was the Water Day field trip at the Mesa Campus! We got to go on different water slides. I had so much fun sliding down the 40 foot tall Rhino slide and high-fiving everyone when I reached the bottom! Everyday has been a different day, which I enjoy. I will always remember my experience in 6th grade here at Noah Webster Schools.
I’ve made so many memories this year and I will always remember them. The best memory I have is just coming to Noah Webster Schools; knowing that I really enjoy going to school and not complaining about it in the morning. We had a lot of field trips and they were all amazing! This is the best school I’ve ever been too! I’ve learned so much more than at any other school. The students here are all friends; there isn’t anyone who doesn’t feel welcomed. Everyone is nice to each other and treats each other the same. No one is different. The teachers are amazing and I just have to say “Thank You” to my teacher as she’s helped me out a lot and I know she will keep doing so. This year was amazing and I will never forget it!
I am very impressed with my daughter’s improvement with all her academics and challenges of different schoolwork. I’ve seen an enormous difference in her and it has inspired her to love school. Thank you!
Our son was in Kindergarten this year and he loved it and loved the teacher & assistant teacher. He learned so much through the school year. I am very pleased to have started him at this school. To end this great school year with such a fun water day he so much enjoyed and talked about the whole day.
Thank you to the staff at Noah Webster for making my child feel so comfortable. Starting school mid-year is never easy but he has really come out of his shell this year.
Our daughter absolutely loves that she gets to use a laptop in class. We’re amazed at how quickly she is learning.
My son attends Noah Webster and loves school. He’s always so excited when he gets home and ready to share what he’s learned each day.
