In third grade students are eight or nine years old. Many will enter third grade already eight years old and will turn nine during the school year or during the summer months after third grade. After completing third grade students move on to fourth grade.
I included a table below showing the ages of students in grades two, three, and four.
Grade | Age |
---|---|
2nd | 7-8 years |
3rd | 8-9 years |
4th | 9-10 years |
