What will the class look like? We will study time, people and places. Your child will take the role of Jr. Historians researching and investigating texts, articles, journals, etc. to gather evidence and interpret that past to explain WHY events happened as they did through a Biblical Worldview Perspective. They will discover historians have different points of view on how they see things. We will also look at people’s character traits that helped shape our country. Geography is a key component in Social Studies, therefore learning to read maps accurately is a skill they will learn.
