ينطلق تعليم اللغة العربية من خلال دراسة نصوص ووحدات دراسية مناسبة لمراحل النموّ العمرية في كل صف. يتم استخدام البطاقات التي تعلّم الحروف والكلمات وإملائها . كما يتم التدرج حسب تنمية الإدراك لدى الأطفال عبر عمليات المطابقة والتصنيف والتسلسل.
وبعبارة أخرى يطبّق الأطفال القراءة والاستماع والكتابة والمحادثة عبر العمل اليدوي المتفاعل مع ممارسة العمليات العقلية.
هذه الوحدات تدمج اللغة مع مادة العلوم وحقائق الحياة و قِيم التعامل والنظرة إلى الذات عبر مجموعة من الكراريس التي تفتح للأطفال أبواب الكتابة الإملائية والكتابة التعبيرية. يصاحب البرنامج مجموعة من القصص يختار الأطفال ما يحبون للقراءة ، ويُطلب منهم تحديد الشخصيات والمواقف وإعادة إنتاجها بالتمثيل والمسرحة. كما أنّ لنشاط العروض الفردية مساحة كبيرة خلال الفصل الدراسي يقدمها الأطفال بعد استخدام أدوات حسية وعقلية متنوعة.
وللخط العربي كشكل حسّي فني وجمالي دور القلب في تعلم مهارات المادة الحسّية . كما تأتي الكتابة التعبيرية في نهاية المرحلة كنتاج للمهارات الحسية من كتابة وإملاء وخط والمهارات الفعلية من تصنيف ومطابقة واستنباط واستقراء ، وبذلك تصبح اللغة وظيفية ذات علاقة تفاعلية مع الحياة والواقع .
يمضي الأطفال تسعون دقيقة يومياً في محطات برنامج تعلم القراءة والكتابة الحِسّي الإدراكي.
مفاصل الكتابة التعبيرية :
استخدام طُرُق متعددة في كتابة الجُمل .
الإجابة في جملة تامّة.
كتابة فكرة في فقرة.
استخدام الأسلوب الوصفي في الكتابة.
كتابة الرأي الخاص.
مراعاة كتابة الموضوع : مقدمة وجسم وخاتمة.
مراعاة تسلسل الأحداث.
استخدام علامات الربط والترقيم.
وللأسرة دورة موصوف في قصص تختارها المدرسة يقرأها الأطفال بمساعدة الأُم أو الأب خلال أسبوع ويسجّل ولي الأمر الملاحظات والتغذية الراجعة في ورقة تطبيقية مصاحبة ثُمّ تستعيدها المدرسة في نهاية القصة للاستفادة منها

Math.
By the end of Grade Three, students develop understandings of multiplication and division of whole numbers. They use properties to develop increasingly more sophisticated strategies to solve problems involving basic multiplication and division facts. They relate division to multiplication. Students understand fractions and its related topics. Students investigate, analyze, and classify two-dimensional shapes by their sides and angles. They decompose, combine, and transform polygons to understand properties of two-dimensional space and use those properties to solve problems. Students construct and analyze frequency tables, bar graphs, picture graphs, and line plots and use them to solve problems.
Connections to real life are made with each focus unit. Students with particularly strong Math skills may also be challenged through small group work.
