Kindergarten

Self and Others

The Kindergarten course is organized into four units of study that represent five of the unifying themes social studies. Each unit helps students study themselves in the context of their immediate surroundings. Students learn about similarities and differences between children, families, and communities. They learn about holidays, symbols, and traditions that unite us as Americans. Students learn about respect for others, and rights and responsibilities of individuals.
