My son is also in 3rd grade and this curriculum sounds amazing! I assure you that most schools are not doing anything close to this. I was just taking to a friend who is at my son's old public school and she was lamenting the fact that 3rd grade math has started off with reviewing single digit addition, and that math homework was to do 10 minutes of single digit addition flash cards each night. And it's been a month into the school year and science hadn't started yet. As in, the kids have yet to do any science. At all.
