Ride, Paul Revere, Ride!

          Hi! Here is one of my new favorite songs to help the kids learn about Paul Revere. They love it and sing it all the time. It also includes language from the standards, especially the example of "diligence" which is a pretty tough word for 3rd graders. I hope this helps! :)

          Here are some more review activities for Paul Revere. These are videos and other neat sites to help the kids study.

Growing with Government!

This week we will be adding to what we have learned recently about the branches of government. Students must know not only the roles and responsibilities of each branch, but must know these at the local, state, and national levels. Students must also be aware of the responsibilities of good citizens and the use of taxes.  This includes what agencies are funded by taxes. Here are some more practice and activities regarding this topic.
