| In fourth grade students
study New York State. Students will learn about the geography of the
state as well its history. During the year we will learn about the
earliest inhabitants, Native Americans, explorers, early European
settlers, the American Revolution, and the development of our modern
state. The students will be encouraged to think critically about
each topic. Document based questions (DBQ's) will be used to prepare
students to use research to develop written responses on important topics. A state assessment in social studies is conducted in the fall of fifth grade. |
