Teacher Resources
Massachusetts History and Social Science Curriculum for third graders involves learning about the history of Massachusetts from the arrival of the Pilgrims, the history of their own cities and towns, and famous people and events in Massachusetts history. Part of the third grade curriculum with respect to Sandwich town history involves several field trips throughout the school year. I hope that my Gold Award Project can enhance student learning in the following ways:
Website
With technology a vital part of teaching, this website can be pulled up in the classroom. Teachers can share with their class photos of and information on third grade field trip locations along with other historical locations around town.
Enhanced Field Trip Experience
Teachers and parent chaperones can download a free QR code reader to their smartphones. I’ve used i-nigma for my project (available for both I-Phone and Android). When students find one of my plant stake geocaches, teachers and chaperones can scan the QR code and share pictures and information about the site.
Classroom Materials
I’ve created materials with information about Sandwich Town History that teachers may choose to use in their classrooms:

Family Engagement
I’ve created a flyer about my project that teachers can share with their students and their families. The flyer has instructions on how families can search for my geocaches. In this way, families can go beyond the third grade field trips and spend quality time together learning about the rich history of our town and enjoying its many recreational opportunities.
