grade 4 social studies

In fourth grade, students focus on the different regions of the United States. They construct timelines to show the progression of and reasons for the settlement of the various regions of the US at different points in time. In the area of civics and government, students study the major roles and responsibilities of elected and appointed leaders in the community, state, national, and tribal governments. Students also analyze various types of maps including overlaying thematic maps, photographs, and satellite images of USA, Canada, and Mexico incorporating the TODALS (title, orientation, date, author, legend/key, scale) basics.
