First Grade Social Studies Units
Digital Citizen
We are learning to be responsible, safe, and kind while in online communities. Check out commonsensemedia.org for more information by clicking the digital citizen poster below.
What does it mean to be a member of a family and a school community?
The community compelling question:
How are communities important to citizens?
Communities help provide for the needs and wants of the citizens living in them. They also provide rules, as written laws and taboos, promoting safety as well as guidelines for behavior. In this unit, students will build on the understanding of communities they began to develop in kindergarten. Here they begin to see that the support and structures in place within their community are important to the daily lives of the people in their community.
