Washington State History
Washington State History
In 4th grade, we study Washington State exclusively.
The Washington Adventure
Our text book begins with many of the geological features of our region. Later in the book, 4th grade students study Washington's geography, history, identify important economic resources, and examine our state's government. Students work on content reading, vocabulary, studying for tests, answering essay questions, and connecting the past to the present.
Projects
In order for our students to gain a deeper understanding of important concepts in social studies a variety of projects are in place that promote research, attention to detail, presentation, and demonstration of mastery. Projects include: Native American Comparison Project, Traveling the Oregon Trail, and a family history project, titled Passport to Washington. Our spring science project connects to Washington State, also, as each student researches an animal native to our state.
