Hello third grade students! My name is Mr. Larsen, and I have been teaching here at Northwestern for 18 years. Every year I think, "This is going to be the best year ever!" And every year, it is! Third grade is the best grade. We get to learn about Michigan history in Social Studies. We have a wonderful science program, including spending a week studying animals at the zoo. I love teaching math, including doing a lot of hands-on activities. One of my favorite subjects is reading, and we get to read many different types (genres) of books.
