STRAND 1 by Emma Olson https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp 3rd Grade Social Studies en-us 2022-05-23 21:40:08 UTC 2022-06-08 21:12:46 UTC hello@padlet.com emmaolson4 https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2196538312 2022-05-23 21:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2196538312 Your community https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215432043 I like taking the time to learn about the communities withinn which they live.  It is difficult to teach about the town/city without resources.  Which resources are available or where can we go to find resources about the town in which they live?  What resources about our county?What are good field trips that are local?
Students could show understanding by creating music/art, etc  (use Gains specialists for this)
It is important for students to understand their community is unique in some ways but similiar to other communities as well.
Students need to understand the difference between city, county, state and country ( many get them confused)]]> 2022-06-08 20:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215432043 Community https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215432664 This strand is broad and covers many subjects that will take time to cover effectively. Geography and why the community settled the area, Natural Resources, Culture, Interdependence on others. The struggle to teach this is finding resources. I have found a few, but finding ones that are interesting is the next step. ]]> 2022-06-08 20:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215432664 I love that we are including geography. I feel like students at least mine love maps and seeing where things are and that naturally lends itself into talking about natural resources. I also really like how we get to get into discussions about how communities chance over time and talk why and how. https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215433497
Students need to understand why community is important and how their behaviors within their community can positively or negatively affect it.

I love talking about how everyone has a different job and how they can each help their community. If we all do our part then we can have a strong and loyal community we can all enjoy. I don't think kids now a days have any idea of how their community has changed and how it has become what it is now. It's neat they get to learn about all these things so they can be a good citizen. ]]> 2022-06-08 20:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215436439 https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215437499 This could be one of the first social studies units taught. If it is have students create their own classroom community. They create the rules (usually they come up with what we want anyways). And consequences if those rules are broken. ]]> 2022-06-08 20:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215437499 General observation https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215445307 I’m noticing that the three strands in 3rd grade have a bit of overlap. (Looking at our community and culture and then the community and culture of someplace else, etc.) Also, there is some overlap from 2nd grade’s strands. (They look at the community on maps, how communities modify the environment, etc.) Some vertical collaboration might be helpful to avoid repeating what they focus on. ]]> 2022-06-08 21:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emmaolson4/bes8bp0gw1eydwjp/wish/2215445307
