Social Studies - Purpose

To develop an understanding of our world, it’s history, geography, and people.

Philosophy

In our Transitional Kindergarten program, social studies is heavily connected to language arts through the grade level themes. Social studies goals are met through the use of cross-curricular activities and connections. Our aim is to help children develop shared responsibility by becoming caretakers of themselves and others within their family, community, and the world around them.

Goals

  • Develop sensitivity to the needs and feelings of others
  • Develop a social awareness about themselves and others
  • Take appropriate risks and make responsible decisions
  • Develop awareness of events before their birth
  • Listen to views and discuss stories, poems, etc. - about people, events, and commemorative holidays
