[Genealib] local history curriculum in elementary schools

[James, Judy]

A requirement of the state curriculum in Ohio is that all 3rd grade
students in public schools learn about local history.  Based on the 3rd
graders who come to our library and the assignments (urban renewal?!)
they are given, it is clear to us that the teachers in our community
might benefit from some communication from us regarding local history
resources available at our library, as well as other institutions in the
community.  We are event thinking that we might "suggest" topics that
would be appropriate and interesting for young children.

 

Has anyone prepared a pathfinder or guide for teachers regarding local
history resources, or collaborated in any way to make this requirement
interesting and valuable for everyone?  Suggestions are welcomed!
