Social Studies

Social Studies curriculum in third grade is filled with many exciting topics. We cover people moving from place to place and various celebrations in different cultures. We focus on the history of communities and technology. We also look at local and state government with a concentration on rights and responsibility of citizens. Then we venture out into the world and discuss importing and exporting goods and services. Finally, we explore the historical significance of the Chicago fire and the city’s history. This also ties into the history of Riverside and it's beginnings.
