The focus of 3rd-grade social studies is continuity and change in our local community, with an emphasis on the Ohlone tribe, who lived right here in Hillsborough!
Areas of study include:
Land and Water in Our Area
California Indians Past and Present
Our Community Over Time
Rules and Laws
The Economy of Our Region
We will be using StudiesWeekly as part of our Social Studies Curriculum.
Studies Weekly is a customized, standards-based curriculum founded on deep learning strategies that increase student knowledge, skills, and dispositions for well-being. Students will design inquiries, analyze & evaluate evidence, communicate conclusion, and take action. There will also be inquiry-based discussions integrated throughout the curriculum so students investigate and engage in problem-solving.
