Mission Statement
The mission of the social studies curriculum is to engage all students in a rigorous, authentic, student-centered learning environment that fosters social understanding and civic efficacy in our multicultural, national and global societies.
As part of our committment to balanced literacy, students at all grade levels engage with authentic text about history, geography, current events, and economics. Students participate in shared reading, listen to teachers read aloud, and join in book clubs where the reading is about social studies topics. During guided reading or model lessons durnig literacy instruction, students enjoy more social studies content as they learn.
