Social Studies Updates

9/6/23

5th grade historians have been learning about how a historian studies the past.  We have been exploring the questions historians ask (What happened?  When did it happen?  How did it happen?  Where did it happen?  Why did it happen? Who was involved?) and how historians use multiple primary and secondary sources to answer those questions.  We are now starting to practice thinking like a historian by looking closely at informational text passages and answering questions about the text to put together stories of the past.
