4K Social Studies
By: Gracie and Brooks
Ms. Kreul’s Social Studies class is a blast, and guess who is lucky enough to have it, 4K is! We always have Social Studies in our own classroom. Social Studies takes place every other school day from 9:30 am to 10:30 am. During that time we have a wide range of discussions and activities.
Most of those discussions and activities are “tours”. “Tours” take us to the different regions around the United States. During “tours” we read a page in our textbook, then map it in our I.S.N, and then discuss it. Every 3 “tours” we do an activity that relates to the page of the “tour”. So far, we have been to the Northeast, the Southeast, the Midwest, the southwest, and we are about to start the West!
The curriculum we have here at Richards is fun-filled and excellent! Some of the activities we do are Geography Challenges, read-aloud, and pages in our I.S.N. Our favorite activity are the activities we do after 3”tours”. We think the main point of Social Studies is to learn about the United State’s economy, geography, and many other features.
After every unit we have a test! About a week before the test Ms. Kreul gives us a study guide that gives us a clue about what to expect on the test. The test normally includes multiple-choice questions, geography questions, reading questions, and a writing question. The tests are never as bad as we think, but we still get worked up about them.
Social Studies are a lot of from “tours” to tests, we learn a lot and have fun doing it!
