Social Studies - Grade 1

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 1

First graders continue to build on the social studies skills and core concepts introduced in kindergarten. Studies of civics expand to include an introduction to democracy, as well as responsibilities of positions of authority and leadership. Geography skills strongly focus on locating places on a map and globe, understanding compass directions, and constructing maps. Students learn economic ideas on money, resources, goods and services, and consumption. Students should also be encouraged to broaden their historical perspective through comparisons of family, transportation, and communication.
