History, Civics & Social Studies · Pre-K
Children describe themselves, notice that classmates are alike and different in many ways, and then step out into the community: the library, the park, the store and other shared places. They finish by finding places on a simple picture map of Olly's neighborhood.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Pre-K
Children sort needs (things we must have to live and be safe) from wants (things that are nice to have), discover that we cannot have everything so we choose, and see how people use and save money to get what they need. A pretend store brings it all together at home.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Pre-K
Children learn that rules keep us safe and help everyone be treated fairly, match rules to the places where they are used (classroom, street, playground, library), and practise what to do after a rule is broken: say sorry, help fix it and try again.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Pre-K
Children look at jobs in three places: classroom jobs that keep a room running, community workers who make things or help people, and big jobs that go faster when the work is shared. They sort workers who make things from workers who help people, an early step toward goods and services.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Pre-K
Children use the words past (long ago) and present (today), compare how people lit their homes, wrote, talked and traveled long ago with how we do it now, and discover two ways to learn about the past: asking older people and looking closely at old objects and photos.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Pre-K
Olly's class notices litter in their neighborhood park and plans a clean-up. Children practise the steps of a simple community action: notice a problem, share ideas and vote, do the plan safely with grown-ups, and check how it helped. They also sort litter into recycling and trash.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Kindergarten
Kindergartners build an 'identity puzzle' of the many parts that make them who they are, discover that each person belongs to several groups at once, and practise noticing how classmates are alike and different with respect and curiosity.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Kindergarten
Kindergartners test rules for fairness (does the rule treat everyone the same way and help the group?), learn that a responsibility is a job others count on you to do, and help a class make and change a rule by sharing ideas and voting.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Kindergarten
Kindergartners connect community helpers to the services they give everyone (fire safety, health care, mail, libraries, trash pickup), learn who the people in authority are at school and in the community and how they keep us safe, and find service buildings on a picture map using position words.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Kindergarten
Kindergartners decide why needs come before wants when money or time is limited, discover the natural resources that everyday things come from (trees, animals, water, soil), and learn that because resources are limited, people make choices and take care not to waste them.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Kindergarten
Kindergartners put events in order with first, next, last and yesterday, today, tomorrow, learn the seven days of the week on a calendar, and compare going to school long ago in a one-room schoolhouse with going to school today, noticing what changed and what stayed the same.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Kindergarten
Kindergartners become history detectives. They learn that old objects (artifacts) and pictures are clues about how people lived, practise asking who, what, when, where and how questions about a clue, and compare an old picture and a new picture of the same street to find what changed and what stayed the same.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Kindergarten
Kindergartners meet five fictional families and the traditions they celebrate, learn how traditions are passed down from grandparents to children, discover that all people share the same basic needs even when they meet them in different ways, and practise respectful, curious responses to traditions that are new to them.
History, Civics & Social Studies · Kindergarten
Room 5 at the fictional Willow School wants more new books to read. Kindergartners follow the class from noticing the problem, to listening to everyone's ideas and voting, to asking the principal for permission and running a Book Swap Box with a job for everyone, and finally checking whether the plan worked.
