First Grade Social Studies

Freetown Elementary School

"In first grade, children listen to and read folk tales and true stories from America and from around the world. They learn about major historical events, figures, and symbols related to the United States of America and its national holidays and why they are important to Americans. The grade 1 curriculum continues to strengthen children’s identity as American citizens." Massachusetts History and Social Science Curriculum Framework, August 2003.
