Lesson Idea | Strand 1: History

This is a 2nd‑grade social studies lesson (aligned with Utah Core Standard 2.1.5) that introduces young learners to significant Americans and their achievements, helping students identify key individuals—especially those from local and diverse backgrounds—and explain why they are important. Tailored for elementary students, it encourages historical thinking by examining multiple perspectives and understanding how these figures have shaped community, Utah, and the broader United States.
