Social Studies

Welcome to the Social Studies website.  

During the course of the year we will cover the district's Social Studies curriculum.  The third grade objectives are located on pages 18-23.  
Here are the third grade state standards for History.  We will focus on Alaska, pages 9-10.
​
The students will all have the opportunity to create a bulletin board for Student of the Week.  Please see the handout for details.  The schedule is posted here.

Current Topic

The students will work in small groups to create an Alaskan historical newspaper.  Each group will focus on a different time period (e.g. precontact, Russian occupation, gold rush, statehood, opening of the pipeline).  This is a long-term project.  The project will be divided into multiple sections.
