Social+Studies

In first grade students identify national symbols and examples of historical and current leadership. They continue their investigation of the world using the family as a point of comparison. The context for investigation about families and community is reflected in the inquiry cycle: discover differences, gain insight to unique cultural characteristics, identify attributes of effective teams and leadership, examine the use and management of natural resources, using tools to develop special understanding of their world. Students will study other countries to develop grade level social studies concepts in history and geography.
