Civics is not limited to the study of politics and society; it also encompasses participation in the classroom and school, neighborhood, groups, and organizations. Students learn how to work together in a classroom and school community during our community block each day and through opportunities to collaborate and work with peers.  Students form rules (laws) and agreements on expected social behaviors to foster a caring, supportive, and safe environment for all students to learn and grow. Students take on leadership roles and responsibilities within our class/school community and students work together in a community circle to restore friendships and trust when problems arise. 

The study of economics provides students with the concepts and tools necessary for an economic way of thinking and helps students understand the interaction of buyers and sellers in markets, workings of the national economy, and interactions within the global marketplace.
