Social Studies

This term in Social Studies, you will learn what it means to be a good citizen of your country. You will understand your rights as a citizen and why they are important. You will also explore the different types of government and how they help to keep order in the country. The lessons will teach you about local and state governments, how they work, and some of the problems they face, as well as how those problems can be solved.

You will also learn about how government powers are shared through something called “separation of power.” Then, you will move on to how work is shared among people through “division of labor,” especially in the agricultural industry. This will help you understand how farmers and workers cooperate to produce food and other products. Lastly, you’ll learn the importance of saving money and why it’s good to keep some for the future.
