Social Studies

We will work with various units throughout the year. Parents, check here often to see what is happening during different months.  We are starting with Core Democratic Values and will interweave them throughout the year using various means.  We will begin each day by saying the “Pledge of Allegiance” and discussing what we are pledging when we say the Allegiance.  We talk about our freedom costing Americans something as freedom isn’t free.  We also discuss patriotism, equality, common good, individual rights, popular sovereignty, diversity, justice and truth.
