Students discover the importance of rules and regulations in guiding community behavior, and they explore good citizenship and values such as respect, democracy, cooperation, and equality. Social Studies K establishes students' understanding of the past by teaching them the importance of a sequence of events and developing their skill in distinguishing fact from opinion. Finally, students learn about the world around them, including how geography influences society, how maps represent places, and how communities rely on trade in goods and services.

AUTO-GRADED COURSE
Auto-graded courses are self-paced, multimodal, and standards-aligned. Students progress independently and are assessed frequently through weekly checkpoints and Mastery Assessments.

These courses allow students to work at their own pace and spend the necessary time on course content to ensure mastery.
