Third graders study how the Mississippi River has influenced the rise of cities and towns, industry, and lifestyle of the people of Minnesota. Through interaction with Good Shepherd Catholic School, students have an opportunity to gain an understanding cultural and religious diversity. Third graders learn about:
- Mississippi River and its impact on life in Minnesota
- Mapping: Students create a map doing coding (computer program called Scratch)
- Diversity: compare and contrast basic beliefs of other religions with our own as it relates to exchanging visits to a local Catholic school.
