Social Studies K

Social Studies K introduces emerging learners to the knowledge and skills that will help them to become active and valued participants in their community. Students discover the importance of rules and regulations in guiding community behavior, and they explore good citizenship and values such as respect, democracy, cooperation, and equality. Social Studies K establishes students' understanding of the past by teaching them the importance of a sequence of events and developing their skill in distinguishing fact from opinion. Finally, students learn about the world around them, including how geography influences society, how maps represent places, and how communities rely on trade in goods and services. This course includes a printed Parent and Teacher Guide that will help you support your student’s learning.
