[quote=Anonymous]My kids used to go to a charter school and regular history started in K. Story of the world and core knowledge were what they used in their curriculum. In 1st they made a Great Wall of China out of Rice Krispies treats. I moved them to the regular public school last year and I noticed in my younger kid’s class, their curriculum started like what you describe with the being a good citizen or making a map of your neighborhood and things like that. There is history in their lessons now in 2nd but Social Studies combines geography, history , civics, economics, etc. so they have to teach a little of everything. They weren’t doing that at their old school , it was just all history and a tiny bit of geography it seemed like. I can’t remember what I learned in the 90s/early 2000s when I was in elementary school, I really remember a lot of history from those American Girl books I’d read on my own. [/quote]
