Mrs. Velasquez

The fifth-grade social studies curriculum consists of the following content area strands: American History,  Geography, Economics and Civics.  Fifth grade students will study the development of our nation with emphasis on the people, places, and events up to approximately 1850.  Students will be exposed to the historical, geographic, political, economic and sociological events which influenced the initial habitation, exploration, colonization, and early national periods of American history.  So, students can clearly see the relationship between cause and effect in history, students should also have the opportunity to explore how individuals and events of this period influenced later events in the development of our nation.
