 By
third grade, students should be ready to learn more
about their connections to the past. They should begin to learn
about local government and how local government and traditions have
helped form the current society.
Third graders should begin to explore the physical and cultural
landscape of their state and the country at large. They also should
begin to learn more about the history of and arrival of immigrants
and the impact they have had on their particular society.
Third grade students should also begin to use these manipulatives:
· Maps
· Tables
· Graphs
· Charts
These will assist the third grader in organizing information about
people, places and environments in a spatial context.
By third grade, students can begin to identify geographical
features in their local region:
· Mountains
· Deserts
· Coastal areas,
· Oceans
· Lakes
· Canyons
· Valleys
They should begin to learn about and explore various national identities,
beliefs, customs, traditions and folklore. A good classroom discussion
would include topics on how immigrants adapted to the natural rugged
environment, for example, how they made their clothing, obtained
food, made tool and how they sheltered themselves.
Third graders should also begin to explore how community organized
their system of government in relationship to the formation of federal
and state government.
