HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM OUR SCHOOLS
First and second graders study Thanksgiving as part of their social studies curriculum.
The first grade social studies program focuses on helping students learn about their roles as members of a family and a school community. Students learn about families now and long ago, as they study different kinds of families that have existed in different societies and communities. They learn that families have beliefs, customs and traditions.
In the second grade social studies program, students learn that their own community can serve as an example for studying about and understanding other communities. Community studies should include content examples from cultures other than the students' own. They also study about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in their communities/
