First Grade Social Studies
Topics in social studies are integrated through language arts and mathematics. The children become aware of how their families, their homes, and their neighborhoods fit into a community. The year culminates with a project about their local community. Patriotic themes of respecting the flag and being loyal to our country are emphasized along with the study of famous American figures including Johnny Appleseed, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King.
