SOCIAL LIVING EXPERIENCES
(Kindergarten Living and Learning Together)
0470-KG
In Kindergarten, students learn about their environment as they begin to distinguish events of the past and present. They explore the concepts of time and space. Students identify symbols that are important to our country. They discover why they must follow school rules and laws as they learn about their role as a citizen in the school and community. Students identify basic characteristics of maps and globes while exploring the geographic characteristics of their community. They explain how people have different kinds of jobs and work to meet basic economic wants. Students develop an understanding that they are individuals who interact with other individuals and groups, and identify ways that people, who are similar and different, make up the community.
