1 SOCIAL STUDIES GRADE: Fourth ABSTRACT The Social Studies Curriculum is grounded in the study of history, civics, geography and economics as well as the social sciences and humanities, which will empower our students to develop their own worldview. As critical thinkers, possessing a core body of knowledge, students will gain an understanding and appreciation for the complexity of the past and the present as well as an understanding of the interdependence of our global society. Additionally, with a strong skill set, our students will have the means to successfully pursue higher education and a career of their choosing. And finally, as a result of their foundation in Social Studies, our students will be ready to assume their roles as citizens in a democratic society. The Fourth Grade Social Studies Curriculum will provide students with an understanding of New Jersey and the United States. While focused on geography and the continued development of map and globe skills, this curriculum will require students to explore the early history of American life up through colonial times. An examination of local history will also empower students to find themselves and their community within our nation s historical narrative.
