Third Grade

In FPA’s third grade curriculum, we solidify addition and subtraction facts, learn multiplication & division facts up to 12, as well as fractions, decimals, time, money, place value, and measurement. For science, using the Immersion Approach, we learn about ocean creatures of Creation Day 5. Regarding history, we will be studying Elizabeth the First to the Forty-Niners.

They will learn punctuation and parts of speech (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs) using jingles and diagrams. Writing across the curriculum teaches basic paragraph writing and editing skills. For reading we will be honing skills learned in K-2, we continue to develop reading comprehension.

Mrs. Jennifer Newkirk

Mrs. Jennifer Newkirk (M.Ed.) is experienced in teaching in public, private, and online settings and has been deeply involved with serving homeschool families since 2001. She has homeschooled each of her own children to varying degrees, and she holds lifetime membership with the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA).

Childhood spent as a military brat provided her the life experiences of growing up in different locations. Low brass became her hobby, and she spent her high school years performing as a competitive trombonist. She earned her B.A. and B.M. Education degrees at the University of South Carolina, where she also served as drum major for the Gamecocks Marching Band. She served as drum major for the Crossmen Drum & Bugle Corps (Drum Corps International), traveled nationally as an instructor for Marching Auxiliaries of America, and served five years as an adjudicator for marching band competitions across the Carolinas.

Mrs. Newkirk completed her Master of Education degree at Columbia International University in 2004, eventually serving as Vice Principal for grades K-8 at a private Christian school. She is lifetime certified as both a teacher and administrator/principal with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

In 2017, she began teaching at FreedomProject Academy. Mrs. Newkirk is excited to have a great year with your student, encouraging the love of learning through classical education.

Mrs. DeAnn Landsverk

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.
