Geocache Description:

Welcome to the lastest game to come to Geocaching. You have heard of the TV game show "Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader" hosted by Jeff Foxworthy. This is the third grade version of that game with your teacher/host, Purple Princess.

The coordinates listed above will take you to your first class. Once you arrive at each class you will need to answer some questions that will provide you with coordinates for your next class period. Your school day will consist of four classes which will lead you to a dismissal area. The containers are all tupperware size.

All of the questions that you will be studying will be related to the two tested areas of third grade, Math and Reading. The questions will provide you examples of what a third grader is expected to know by the end of the year. In some cases third graders are expected to do higher level questions than you will be exposed to.

Please try these questions without the use of a PAF because a third grader is not allowed to ask for help on their tests. They are allowed to use paper and even calculators so you may want to come prepared with these items.

When you think you have successfully completed all of the four core classes then you may proceed to your reward. The giant apple that contains the reward contains many educational goodies that may help remediate or challenge your current skills. Please trade items that could help others geocaching learners improve their skills. (flashcards, workbooks, pencils, calculator, pens, paperback books, erasers, etc...)
