Social Studies

The children will identify the qualities of good citizenship in the classroom,  they will learn about their neighborhood and community and extend their knowledge of people throughout the world.  They will examine a variety of neighborhoods and communities and compare and contrast past and present changes. They will share their cultures and learn about other cultures represented in the classrooms, school, and around the world, as they participate in activities associated with special days, holidays, and cultural traditions.

The children will be able to locate and describe familiar places.   They will begin to use geographic terminology and create representations of the earth’s features through simple maps, models, and pictures.  They will describe how people of different cultures work to earn money and identify the choices people make in order to satisfy their wants and needs.
