Of course there is significance to it. Carl remembers third grade fondly. Carl is fixating upon days when people didn't want to eat him? Carl had the Hots for Teacher? Carl once felt up his third grade teacher and the thought of her name makes him happy? Perhaps Carls actual mother was the third grade teacher rather than Lori?
A myriad of reasons why a character may go to a different place or memory, if you use your predictive skills, imagination, or decide to extrapolate a bit.
Maybe Carl is having dreams.
Maybe Carls third grade teacher is calling him on his cel phone?
