I am homeschooling for the first time and would like a web site to find out if I am teaching the right things to my kids when it comes to the state testing.

The school board provides you with that information. They provide you with the curriculum. How can you be home schooling if you don't know that?

Without knowing the state, I can't give specifics. I do know that here in Texas (we aren't required to test), they have the old versions of the state (TAKS) test available on-line (see link below).
Another good resource is E.D.Hirsch's series, "What Your ___ Grader Needs to Know".
You might consider performing your own test a month or two before the state test. Not only will you have an idea how s/he'll do on the state test, it will be good practice. Bob Jones Univ. offers the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) and the SAT (Stanford Aptitude Test, not the college one). I like the ITBS because I can administer it myself.

Your state department of education (or equivalent) will have a list of standards for the third grade. You can find these by asking the local school district, checking the dept of ed website, or calling the department of ed and asking directly.
While you are inquiring, ask if they have a program called Follow the Leader. If your state is one of the 10 or so that now have FTL, use that program to directly assess your student's skills as they will be tested by the State.

Look up the website for you State Department of Education. They should have a list of all the required teaching for each grade level, so you know what your child should learn each year.

Double verify with close by abode schoolers. My state's regulation is very reminiscent of yours. we ought to deliver interior the interest of motive via a particular day in August each and every 12 months and the checking out is carried out interior the Spring. We get a letter each and every 12 months about 2 months earlier checking out, pointing out even as and the position the checks will be held. it truly is particularly no huge deal in any respect.

Search for your state's education department then look around there and see if you can find a curriculum or program of studies section.

That would depend upon your state. You didn't even give us a clue.
