Report

I look forward to seeing any resources that are provided by any
group. My school did purchase a single copy of the grade 3 Hands On
for the updated social studies curriculum. I browsed through it and
it does a great job giving ideas on how to teach the 2 units.
Obviously, it is only one resource but when you have little to start
with it, it looks amazing. For $125 with free shipping for the Fall,
it is worth the investment.
