Social Studies

Important Information

 We will be using the Discovery Kids magazines  for our textbook resources this year.  Social Studies will be taught for 40 minutes every day.  Todd Lane Elementary is  the first school in the U.S. to use this material.  It is in an engaging magazine format and should be a great way to learn about the history of our country.  We will be using the online format this year.
