This real-time online class covers 2nd-grade social studies standards and invites students to explore the world around them with curiosity and purpose.

Through interdisciplinary lessons, students will uncover how the past connects to the present and begin to understand why things are the way they are. Hands-on projects and multi-sensory activities will bring foundational social studies concepts to life.

Students will also conduct simple research projects and present their findings to peers, building confidence, communication skills, and a deeper understanding of their place in the world.
