A Kindergarten sequence exploring democratic decision-making through individual vs. group choices, respectful opinions, voting methods, and majority rule, culminating in a class election.

A Kindergarten civics sequence that introduces the concept of authority figures and the purpose of rules at home, in school, and in the community. Students learn why rules exist for safety and fairness, and conclude by collaboratively creating a classroom constitution.

This sequence introduces Kindergarten students to foundational economic concepts through concrete experiences. Students explore the difference between needs and wants, encounter scarcity through a limited resource simulation, practice decision-making with trade-offs, and participate in a classroom market using earned tokens.

This Kindergarten Social Studies sequence explores social identity by examining how students fit into families, the classroom, and the wider community. Students learn that their personal identity is shaped by the groups they belong to through literature, discussion, and hands-on activities.

A Pre-K ELA sequence focused on reading comprehension through informational texts about community helpers. Students explore the roles, tools, and processes of firefighters, doctors, mail carriers, and builders through interactive read-alongs and role-play.

A foundational sequence for Kindergarten students exploring needs versus wants, scarcity, and decision-making through interactive games and hands-on simulations. Students learn that resources are limited and making a choice involves giving something else up, building early financial literacy.

Students explore the concept of a 'state' as a distinct geographic and political entity. They learn to locate their state on a map, understand the hierarchy of city/state/country, identify official symbols, and recognize important regional landmarks.
