America the Beautiful: People, Places, and Ideas that make America Unique
Through hands-on project based learning,  games, and songs,  students explore the meaning of good citizenship, national symbols, influential leaders, geography, time and chronology, and life in the past. This is a standards based class that is intended to spark a love for HISTORY in K-3 graders!
