2 Readington Township School District Social Studies Curriculum Grade 4 I. OVERVIEW The Readington Township School district social studies curriculum adheres to the belief that social studies education should foster, for all students, the ability to understand their world and to have an appreciation for the heritage of America with a high degree of literacy in civics, history, economics, and geography. Our curriculum leads students from an understanding of themselves and the world around them to the greater community of Readington and New Jersey, and, eventually, to an understanding of American traditions, democratic values, and our global society. II. RATIONALE The purpose of social studies education is to provide students the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills, and perspectives needed to become active, informed citizens and contributing members of local, state, national, and global communities in the digital age. Kindergarten students will focus on home and family as they are introduced to the basic understandings of good citizenship and learn about American holidays and symbols. In first grade, students will learn about the rights that responsible Americans enjoy. Students will also gain knowledge of schools, communities, and transportation, now and long ago. The different traditions and customs of Americans will also be explored as students compare people with different backgrounds. They will also review the difference between needs and wants, and how their needs are met. In second grade, students will learn how a community, state, and nation are all different and alike in some ways. Children will learn that people use resources and change their environments, and will learn that technology can help us conserve our resources. Children will compare and contrast life today with life long ago. They will see how both people and places change over a period of time and that certain important people or events have become part of our heritage. They will review the concepts of wants, needs, goods and services. In third grade, students learn about the rights and responsibilities of community members as they expand their knowledge of local government in Readington Township. They will examine how communities change over time and recognize the diversity of communities around the world. Students will explore both physical and human geography, as they learn the importance of protecting our natural resources. In fourth grade, the focus is on the history and geography of New Jersey to understand its unique features and characteristics. Students will learn the story of New Jersey, from its

3 foundation in colonial America to its cultural and economic significance today. Students will uncover the heritage of New Jersey by examining the influence immigrants and native peoples have had on our culture. Students will explore the government of New Jersey by examining its similarities to both our local and national government. Finally, students will engage in a celebration of the great figures and accomplishments unique to New Jersey. The progression from fifth through eighth grades will expand student engagement in relevant activities that connect content knowledge to current issues. The goal is to promote service learning that will empower students to become civic-minded and socially active in our global society. In fifth grade, students will explore the early foundations of the United States including European exploration of the New World, the colonization of North and South America, and the fight for independence. Students will also develop a strong sense of the role Geography plays in understanding our nation s history and place in our global society. In sixth grade, students engage in an exploration of major ancient civilizations. By analyzing the geographic themes, growth of culture, and development of societies, students will gain a deeper understanding of the commonalities and differences among ancient civilizations. The elements of culture and the four stages of economic development serve as a lens through which investigative studies of the ancient civilizations are focused. III. STUDENT OUTCOMES (Link to New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards) Standard: 6.1 U.S. History: America in the World. All students will acquire the knowledge and skills to think analytically about how past and present interactions of people, cultures, and the environment shape the American heritage.

Regions form and change as a result of unique physical/ecological conditions, economies, and cultures. Patterns of settlement across Earth s surface differ markedly from region to region, place to place, and time to time. Advancements in science and technology can have unintended consequences that impact individuals and/or societies. Urban areas, worldwide, share common physical characteristics, but may also have cultural differences. CPI # B B B B B B B.7 Cumulative Progress Indicator (CPI) Compare and contrast information that can be found on different types of maps, and determine when the information may be useful.
