| Social Studies
In Social Studies, the goal is for all students to develop a deep, rich network of understandings related to the world around them. The objectives and competencies included in this curriculum deal with history, geography, economics, and civics from a diverse, global perspective. Students engage in projects that require them to apply Social Studies skills in real-world contexts.
Grade 2
Students in the second grade are ready to learn more about the world they live in by studying the local community, both past and present. United States history includes Colonial America, folk stories/songs, and national holidays and symbols. The study of geography introduces the relationship between the physical environment and human activities, while continuing to develop map and globe skills. Students expand their understanding of economic concepts on money, goods and services, and trade. Students' historical analysis skills should include data interpretation, timelines, and holidays around the world.
