Learner-centered
The study of social studies and history is a fantastic way to build background knowledge in our students, thus bolstering overall reading comprehension. To that end, we love to make history come alive for our students, engaging them in hands-on experiences as they learn about the past and the modern era. It is not unusual to see our students building history pockets, learning how to buy/sell/barter, or engaging with their living history timeline as they participate in class. The Notgrass curriculum includes dynamic family unit projects so the families at home can also participate in the interactive fun!
Social Studies / History and Biblical Worldview Shaping
When studying history, it is miraculous to see the hand of God moving throughout the entire world, amongst all people groups, during all periods of time. As students study the omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence of God, conversations about who He is and who they are in Him abound in the classroom. While each grade level has a series of academic Anchor Standards for social studies and history, they also have Anchor Standards for Biblical Worldview Shaping which guide conversations and learning within these subjects.
