Grade K Social Studies A

Kindergarten Social Studies introduces young learners to the social sciences. The course starts with an invitation to learners to investigate how people use jobs to meet basic needs and wants. Next, students will discover how traditions, kinship, and religion shape each family’s culture. An introduction to basic map skills is followed by a survey of basic landforms and bodies of water. The course then transitions into a study of the role of leaders, the relationship between government and rules, and an introduction to national symbols including the U.S. flag. Students will discover the meaning behind selected patriotic holidays before concluding the course with a look at how technology affects our lives.
