I remember 3rd grade. It was one of the few years I enjoyed in school. I loved multiplication and would do worksheet after worksheet, asking my teacher for another when I finished and was bored.
Homeschool 3rd grade is pretty laid back. I felt like I was almost getting the hang of homeschool by year 3 and then when my younger kids were doing 3rd grade, I was like a pro.
I highly recommend the books by Louise Bates Ames. A good guide to follow is What Your Third Grader Needs to Know: Fundamentals of a Good Third-Grade Education by E.D. Hirsch, Jr.
My eldest in 3rd grade:

My daughter tried school on Hickam AFB. It lasted one month.

Third grade is an exciting time and I want to make sure my kids have fun, play lots outside, and love learning.
