Mrs. Vinaja's social studies class uses a Harcourt social studies textbook. The primary concepts students will learn in fourth grade social studies are the five major regions of the United States as well as the states and capitals. There will be two large, at home projects to complete throughout the year: one for the Northeast region and one for the Midwest region. Throughout the school year, students will research and complete a state report with the help of the Library Media Specialist, Ms. Jeanne Lundholm.
