Third Grade
FPA’s third-grade curriculum strengthens addition and subtraction facts, covers multiplication and division up to 12, and explores fractions, decimals, time, money, place value, and measurement. In science, we study ocean creatures from Creation Day 5 using the Immersion Approach. History covers Christianity, the Renaissance, and Early American Settlement.
Students learn punctuation and parts of speech (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs) through jingles and diagrams.

Years after Mrs. Landsverk announced in kindergarten that she wanted to be a teacher, she went on to graduate with a BS in Education from Martin Luther College. In addition to homeschooling her two amazing children, she has teaching experience in all elementary levels in private, public, and homeschool cooperative settings.
In the snowy WI winters, DeAnn enjoys outdoor activities such as snowshoeing, downhill skiing, running, and walking her dogs. Once the ice is gone, with her husband at the helm, her favorite place to be is on her waterski behind their boat. She spends much of her summer skiing with her daughter and teammates on the Webfooters Water Ski Show Team. In addition to waterskiing, she enjoys cooking with her daughter, as well as hiking and shooting guns with her son.
Teaching at FPA since its beginning has been rewarding for DeAnn. She loves the challenge of creating lessons that incorporate games and activities to engage her online students. Her desire is to develop every student to a maximum potential, empowering each one as a problem solver and future leader.
