Social Studies

In social studies class students will complete lessons and activities to support the social studies curriculum.

Students will understand their roles and the roles of others within their community as to how it relates to the financial and personal decisions they make, as they broaden their perspective of their community and to other surrounding communities.

• Students will understand the roles of others within their community and explain how governments function.

• Students will construct and interpret maps, compare environmental and cultural characteristics of familiar and unfamiliar places, and explain how these places meet their daily needs.

• Students will understand the economic impact of financial decisions on goods and services at the community and personal level, knowing that all choices can affect themselves and others.

• Students will think critically about how important people and events shaped their community and explain how historical sources can be links to the past.
