Students will explore the colonial period in North America with a focus on colonial life from the founding of the first English colonies to the beginnings of the American Revolution.

For this unit, we are taking a different approach towards learning the concepts involved within the unit of study. While we will be using the Story of the World book, we will also be using a lot of supplemental material and foldable note taking organizers that will hopefully enhance and help students learn in a supportive and creative way.

Help Sessions Change NOTE: Due to the recent student schedule change, the day of the week for help sessions has changed. THURSDAY is the new day for third grade help sessions. We will start the new help session schedule next week.
