What do you believe to be your strongest social studies unit in third grade? What makes it strong?
Introducing the cultures, locations, and customs of different countries. Comparing other countries and their cultures to the USA. It is strong because it gives them more knoledge and information of other countries and cultures.

Using think.com and photostory to create projects on each of the countries. Also our International Week at the end of the year. The students love to make and eat different foods from the diverse cultures.

We feel it is stronger when we can relate weekely stories to countries. Projects included within the unit of study. ie, animal projects (posters, dioramas and powerpoints) projects include student presentation for interaction
