In social studies, children will learn about the beginnings and growth of our country. They will be introduced to Native American groups, early settlers who came from Europe, and explorers who led the way for westward expansion. Students will learn pioneers. We will take a field trip to the Troy Museum to experience the life of a pioneer.
