Welcome to
Third Grade Social Studies Curriculum Links

Teachers, students, and parents, welcome to the Third Grade Social Studies Curriculum Links web page. I have tried to put together a number of web sites that will aid in your study of third grade social studies. As you will discover, some of the links lead to virtual tours of cities, museums, or famous buildings. Other links take you to sites created by elementary or middle school children themselves. Still other links lead to facts about famous inventors, presidents, national parks, public documents, or historical facts. Here you can find maps of any state or country in the world, visit an Anasazi kiva, or become the historian and discover what life was like in the 1700's. Here you can walk in the footsteps of endangered animals, find out if you meet the requirements to be a pony express rider, or read the diaries of settlers who have traveled along the Oregon Trail. Take your students on a Webquest in cyberspace, and enjoy your journey.
