About the store
I am a 5th grade teacher in California with over 12 years of experience teaching upper elementary students in grades 3–5, including combo 4th/5th grade classrooms.

Native American Cereal Box Project- Our Communities Unit 2- 3rd Grade
This is a project I do with my 3rd grade class. We use the "Our Communities" text from Pearson Publishing to study Social Studies. Unit 2 is all out Native Americans in California. This project corresponds with this unit and extends student learning.
It includes directions for all 3 parts of the project (research, visual-aid cereal box, and presentation), along with rubrics.
