Social+Studies

The first grade Social Studies curriculum provides experiences that begin with students' familiar surroundings of self, school, community, country and state. The children will learn about themselves, their peers, people from other countries and famous historical figures. They will have the opportunity to work with maps, globes, graphs and map keys.

Critical thinking skills are fostered through activities that explore, compare, and contrast other countries to the United States of America. This year we will compare ourselves to the people and culture of Mexico, Japan, and Africa.
