Goal: Connecticut academic standards: Social studies, Grade 3

## 1. Cultural Communities in Connecticut Present and Past

- [Vocabulary: historical thinking](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-historical-thinking/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of historical thinking — source, evidence, primary source, secondary source, artefact, chronology, chronological order, BC/BCE, AD/CE, century, decade, era, period, timeline, excavation, archaeologist, interpretation, corroborate, bias, perspective — and apply these terms when discussing how we know about the past and how reliable our knowledge is

## 2. State Constitution and Government

- [Taxes & Public Services](https://ai.page/c/taxes-and-public-services/index.md): What taxes are and why people pay them; how taxes fund schools, hospitals, roads, and emergency services; that governments decide how to spend tax money

## 3. Communicate Conclusions and Take Informed Action

- [Stop, Think, Then Choose](https://ai.page/c/stop-think-then-choose/index.md): Use a simple decision-making process when faced with a choice — stopping to think, identifying the options, considering the consequences of each option, and then choosing — rather than acting impulsively
- [Vocabulary: making decisions and keeping safe](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-making-decisions-and-keeping-safe/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of making decisions and keeping safe — choice, consequence, rule, safe, fair, honest, trusted adult, and right and wrong — and understand that naming these ideas clearly helps make better choices

## 4. Develop Questions and Plan Inquiries

- [Questioning Historical Sources](https://ai.page/c/questioning-historical-sources/index.md): Before trusting a historical source, ask: who made this, when, and why? — the answers shape how much weight the source should carry
