Social Studies
The social studies curriculum we will be using this year is the Social Studies Alive! program. This curriculum is a newer approach to teaching and learning about social studies concepts. Students will be engaging in hands on activities and simulations to build understanding of the United States’ historical events. We will be using an electronic copy of the text to read together in class. Students will work individually, in pairs, and in small groups to problem solve and investigate social studies topics. Students will also keep interactive journals to display their work as we explore the time period from early Native American life to the Civil War era.
