Granite Fun Facts and State Symbols: New Hampshire-Based Projects

The New Hampshire Historical Society presents a professional development opportunity focusing on examples of project-based instruction offered in New Hampshire’s statewide social studies curriculum, "Moose on the Loose: Social Studies for Granite State Kids."

New Hampshire may be a small state, but a lot has happened here! Find out about the famous people who lived here, the inventions that were created here, and the New Hampshire “firsts” that led the nation, along with exploring the state symbols, classic places to visit in the Granite State, and fun facts about our small, but impactful, state. This workshop uses the "Moose on the Loose" to help kids learn more about the state we all love.  Then, participants will develop a number of summative projects based on this information that they can use and adapt for students in grades K-8 to teach social studies and promote literacy.

Familiarity with the “Moose on the Loose” curriculum from a prior training will be vital in this workshop. Participants will be given resources ahead of the training to learn more about this high-quality state social studies curriculum for elementary grades created by the New Hampshire Historical Society.

Breakfast and lunch are included. Attendees will receive a $50 Target gift card and CEU credits for the one-day workshop, as well as additional CEU credits for any pre-training work they complete. Please note: participants of this workshop must be public or private school educators in New Hampshire.
