Grade 2

Dear 2nd grade team members, 

As your tribal history teacher leaders (we’re learners too), we wanted to share some information about integrating lessons from Tribal History Shared History into our curriculum. We are accountable for beginning to implement Senate bill 13 into our classrooms this school year. The district has asked us to teach 3 lessons so we are in compliance with the Senate Bill . If you would like to deepen your knowledge about THSH please check out these resources: Critical Orientations for Indigenous Studies Curriculum (the 6 P’s), The Educator Toolkit, and all tribal lessons created for THSH that are separated by Tribe and grade level.

Attached are lessons and our ideas about when they could fit into the curriculum that we are already teaching.
