Free 3rd Grade Homeschool Curriculum (36-Week Plan)

This page is the starting point for a 3rd grade homeschool curriculum built around weekly themes.

Instead of doing the same type of work every day, each week brings a new theme. This keeps things feeling fresh and makes learning more enjoyable for kids, especially those who don’t do well with repetitive work.

For parents, it’s designed to be easy to use. You can print and go for spelling and math without needing a lot of prep. Everything is free, with only the cost of printing.

The themes naturally open the door for real-life learning too. You can build around each theme with hands-on activities, outings, or simple ideas that don’t require screens or extra materials.

The curriculum is being built carefully over time, starting with spelling and math. The spelling portion is complete, and the math worksheets are currently being developed with a teacher to ensure they follow a clear progression and cover key skills.

This is still a work in progress, but the goal is to create a complete, easy-to-use 3rd grade plan that you can follow or adapt however you’d like.
