Expectations

Heritage and Citizenship, Grade 3 (Pioneer Life)

  • identify early settlers and their origins, and describe their lives and contributions-describe changes that have occurred in their communities since the time of the early settlers
  • explain how the pioneers used natural resources (e.g. water, forests, land) 
  • describe the major components of a pioneer settlement-locate key information about pioneer communities from primary sources (e.g. local museums, pioneer houses, forts, villages)
  • collect and evaluate information about human and environmental interactions during the early settlement period 
  • compare and contrast life in a pioneer settlement with that in their own community (with respect to services, jobs schools, stores, use of natural resources)
