Me and My World
Every learner starts with what they know best: themselves. From there, they observe the people and places around them, making sense of community, belonging, and their world through hands-on discovery.

What Students Will Explore
Unit 1
Introduction: Learning About Myself
Kindergarten begins with the child. Students learn that each person is special and can do many things, then look at what makes a family, including how family members care for one another.
Unit 2
Learning and Working Together
Learning and working together covers getting along by talking, listening, and taking turns. Students learn how to make friends by introducing themselves, sharing, and being kind, and how to solve problems by taking a moment to calm down and thinking of ways to fix them.
Unit 3
Work Now and Long Ago
Being a good helper at school is the focus here in a unit on work, both now and long ago. Students learn what it means to take care of things and to do their own work.
Unit 4
Geography of the Neighborhood
Neighborhood geography starts close to home. Students learn that they live in a neighborhood, name the places in it, and draw a map showing where those places are.
Unit 5
National and State Symbols
National and state symbols begin with location: students learn that they live in a city or town, a state, and a country. A second lesson covers how Americans celebrate.
Unit 6
Reaching Out to Times Past
How people live around the world closes the program. Students learn that people share the same needs but make different choices about wants, and that recycling, reusing, and reducing help take care of the world.
