What your child is learning
Students in Grade 3 explore the wide world of
music! Through folk, square and traditional ethnic
dances, and by singing rounds and partner songs,
your child will understand that musical beats can
be grouped in different ways and that two or more
melodies can exist in one song. Your child will
move their body to show what music looks like to
them, listen to different kinds of musical instruments
and recognize that sounds are made in different
ways. For more about Grade 3 Music, refer to the program
of studies 
.
How your child is assessed
Your child’s learning is assessed using
a variety of tools and strategies within
the classroom. Ask your child’s teacher
what methods they are using. The different
assessment methods tell you and your child’s
teacher about your child’s strengths, the
areas in which they might grow and how
well your child is doing throughout the
course. Your child’s teacher can then change
or refine their teaching plans to ensure
that learning activities better meet the
needs of your child. At the end of the
course, your child is assessed and their
achievement is reported so that you know
if they have achieved the expected learning
outcomes for their grade.
