The Fourth Grade Social Studies Units Include:

As outlined by the New York State Social Studies Framework, Grade 4 is focused on New York State and local communities and their change over time, incorporating the study of geography, history, economics, and government. We will make and teach local connections throughout the units. The units are divided into key ideas that span the State’s history from before the European colonial era to the modern period. The key ideas allow teachers to make connections to present-day New York State and the local community. 

Unit 1: The Three Worlds Meet in the New York State

Unit 2: Impact of Colonial Times and Revolutionary War

Unit 3: National and Local Government

Unit 4: Change Comes to New York
