SOCIAL STUDIES
Standards will be woven throughout our workshop time. People Working Together is the Organizing Theme of Study for this year.
Work serves as an organizing theme for the second grade. Students learn about jobs today and long ago. They use biographies, primary sources and artifacts as clues to the past. They deepen their knowledge of diverse cultures and their roles as citizens.

2. Use of Natural Resources and Maps
3. Many Cultures, One World
