Social Studies

Our Textbook           

We’ll learn about countries and cultures from all over the world. We’ll learn about key events and people that have shaped history. We’ll also look at current events that are impacting our lives today. Our studies help us to understand our world and our part in it. They will also promote critical thinking, problem solving, evidence-based reasoning, and communication skills in each of us.

Because our nation will be electing our president in November we will learn about the entire election process.

  • Who can run for president?

  • What are the qualifications?

  • How are they elected?

  • What is the popular vote?

  • What is the electoral college?

Think about this: In just few years YOU get to vote in a presidential election!

You will also study a country of your choice and share your information as an informational research paper. This will be a combined Social Studies and Language Arts project.
