History

Social Studies

• The First-grade child learned about different historical figures, such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
• They learned about important historical events, such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address.
• The child learned about the concept of timelines and how to place historical events in chronological order.
• They also learned about symbols and landmarks that represent the United States, such as the American flag and the Statue of Liberty.

For continued development in history, encourage the child to explore more about different historical figures and events through hands-on activities like creating a timeline using pictures or drawings, visiting local historical sites or museums, and discussing family history and traditions.
