Connecticut Social Studies Standards
Content Standard 2
Students will use historical thinking skills to develop an understanding of the major historical periods, issues and trends in United States history, world history, and Connecticut and local history.
Educational experiences in Grades K-4 will assure that students:
locate the events, peoples and places they have studied in time and place (e.g., on a time line and map) relative to their own location;
demonstrate knowledge of major trends in state and local history, including history of original peoples, early settlements and selected changes over the past two centuries; and
place the history of their own families in the context of local, state, national and world history.
