Publisher's Description of My Story 1 - And the World Around Me
Just what exactly is social studies, you may ask? Well, it includes the study of all kinds of people and places, some far away and some next door. In this book we talk about families, like your family in your house, and also lots of people close by, which we call a town or city, and finally about even more people in cities or outside of cities, all living in big places called countries.
My Story and the World Around Me is a course for lower elementary students. It includes basic introductions to history, politics, sociology, economics, and geography, and provides a fuller understanding of Gods world and the cultures of the countries.
This is a daily adventure-based curriculum series that encourages families to explore the world together through four nine-week quests and to understand it better from Gods perspective. It is designed with elements that make weekly learning fun and interactive, including:
- Activity time
- Word find time
- Review time
- My story journal
Learn all about the world while you discover more about your own. And make sure you pull out your Quest Collector Cards at the beginning of each quest. Your world map on the other side shows where you are in each lesson!
