Third Grade Standards Overview

World Geography and Cultures


Important Note: The purpose of each powerpoint presentation is to provide the teacher with a better understanding for each of the standards. Whereas much of the material in each powerpoint can be used in the classroom, not all of the material is intended to be used by students, but instead to be possibly adapted by the teacher for classroom use.
