Social Studies 1

Semester: 0.5 Credits

Social Studies 1 leads students beyond their local community to consider their place in the world. They explore the function and characteristics of local, state, and federal governments, including the role of rules in different settings and the rights and responsibilities of citizens. Students also learn how to ask questions and gather information to understand history. This course focuses on developing students’ knowledge of the interplay between the physical world and human societies, as they learn basic geography skills, such as map reading. They examine the impact of the environment on how and where people live, and they explore the ways that regional variations drive trade in both goods and services. Finally, students build their understanding of good citizenship by identifying ways to contribute to the community and avoid conflict by interacting respectfully with others. This course includes a printed Parent and Teacher Guide that will help you support your student’s learning.
