Social studies is integral to young children’s lives, and is naturally engaging in the classroom. Driven by a desire to know and achieve mastery over self, family, and their environment, children are eager to gain understanding of the many aspects of their culture and community beginning with their family and then moving into the environmental world. In this session, we will share ways to foster the natural curiosity of littles to explore the world around them. You will leave with book recommendations, digital resources, activities, and so much more than can be implemented immediately with your students.
