About this resource

What's inside this resource

Built for Texas 3rd grade, this curriculum map plans an August–May year across ten subject areas. The four core subjects, ELAR, math, science and social studies, each get ten monthly plans with a learning sequence and a piece of evidence to collect, such as a model-to-equation match in October math or a model of the solar system in January science. Health, PE, technology, art, music and theatre each get four term plans, so specialist teachers can see how their work fits the year.

The Excel workbook is the working copy. Year Map shows the calendar and monthly focus, Core Plans and Specialist Plans hold all 64 plans, and Coverage Audit lists every TEKS expectation ID the map schedules, with links to the current chapters. A Version Register records which TEKS chapter and adoption year each subject uses. The 18-page PDF gives a readable view of the whole year, including a page of recurring daily and weekly routines and a coverage page with lines for local decisions.

  • Grade 3, Texas: ten subject areas, 40 core monthly plans and 24 specialist term plans
  • 18 PDF pages: calendar, current TEKS versions, two pages per core subject, one page per specialist subject, routines and coverage review
  • Three files: a full-color PDF, a print-friendly black and white PDF and an editable Excel workbook (.xlsx) you can adapt

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Plan a full Texas grade 3 year across core and specialist subjects on one calendar.

  • Connect each monthly or term plan to the TEKS expectations it schedules.

  • Choose evidence for each plan and use it to revisit gaps.

Teaching tips

  • Check the Version Register before the year starts; it shows which TEKS chapter each subject follows.

  • Share the specialist pages with your health, PE, technology and fine arts teachers so term topics line up with the core months.

  • Use the Coverage Audit to see which expectations are not yet scheduled before you finalize the calendar.

Skills covered

  • TEKS-based pacing: core subjects are planned month by month and specialist subjects term by term across 36 weeks.

  • Specialist coordination: health, PE, technology, art, music and theatre each have four term plans with suggested evidence.

  • Coverage tracking: the workbook lists every expectation ID the map schedules, by subject.
