Social Studies

SOCIAL1 6/7

Here at Park Elementary we believe an education in social studies fosters a population that:

  • Is civic minded, globally aware, and socially responsible.
  • Exemplifies fundamental values of American citizenship through active participation in local and global communities.
  • Makes informed decisions about local, state, national, and global events based on inquiry and analysis.
  • Considers multiple perspectives, values diversity, and promotes cultural understanding.
  • Recognizes the implications of an interconnected global economy.
  • Appreciates the global dynamics between people, places, and resources.
  • Utilizes emerging technologies to communicate and collaborate on career and personal matters with citizens of other world regions.

Harcourt Social Studies

is a core comprehensive program that takes students on a fascinating journey to explore the people, places, and events that have impacted history. This brand new basal program combines rich content with colorful graphics and interactive text to highlight core concepts and provide a better understanding for students.

Each unit is structured with powerful Reading Support tools — such as the Lesson Summary and Unit Review - to help reinforce the main ideas and accurately organize information. Three Leveled Readers for every unit help to further reteach, reinforce, and extend the unit topics.
