Your child is about to begin a new year with the Liberty Kids Social Studies program. This program is a multimedia approach to our country’s history. It presents social studies as a well-told story about the people who have shaped our country. Every Monday we will watch a new episode and answer questions on what we just watched. We will review during the week and they will be getting a test on the episode on Friday. You can go on YouTube and rewatch the episode we are studying.
How You Can Help Throughout the year, we will be asking you to participate in your child's learning. The world outside the classroom is rich in history. Your encouragement, support, and sharing of your life experiences will greatly expand your child's learning.
