GRADE 2 SOCIAL STUDIES

The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has established the following Social Studies standards based on the most current teachings which are aligned to Ohio New Learning Social Studies Standards. In addition, these Standards are infused with Catholic Identity and Catholic values. This curriculum gives parents, students, and teachers the knowledge, understanding, and skill set students need to acquire and satisfy the Archdiocesan Social Studies Standards for Grade 2.

SOCIAL STUDIES APPLICATION

Grade 2 students are expected to meet each year’s grade-specific standards. Students retain and master skills learned in the preceding grades, and will further develop their skills to gain exposure to a range of texts and tasks. Rigor is infused throughout this Graded Course of Study (GCS) along with relevance to further foster the values of Catholic teaching.

SOCIAL STUDIES STANDARDS for Grade 2

THEME: PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER – Work serves as an organizing theme for the second grade. Students learn about jobs today and long ago. They use biographies, primary sources and artifacts as clues to the past. They deepen their knowledge of diverse cultures and their roles as citizens.

HISTORY – Students in grade two use calendars to determine the day, week, month and year. Students need to be able to list the days of the week and months of the year in order. Students should be able to place a series of events in chronological order and to learn about specific people in history.

HISTORICAL THINKING AND SKILLS: Historical thinking begins with a clear sense of time – past, present and future – and becomes more precise as students progress. Historical thinking includes skills such as locating, researching, analyzing and interpreting primary and secondary sources so that students can begin to understand the relationships among events and draw conclusions.

Grade two students build on the understanding as they use artifacts, maps and photographs to investigate change over time and answer questions about daily life from past to present.

HERITAGE: Ideas and events from the past have shaped the world as it is today. The actions of individuals and groups have made a difference in the lives of others. Advances in science and technology have changed and continue to change the way people have communicated and traveled.

GEOGRAPHY - Students use knowledge of geographic locations, patterns and processes to show the interrelationship between the physical environment and human activity, and to explain the interactions that occur in an increasingly interdependent world. Students use knowledge of perspectives, practices and products of cultural, ethnic and social groups to analyze the impact of their commonality and diversity within local, national, regional and global settings.

SPATIAL THINKING AND SKILLS: Spatial thinking examines the relationships among people, places and environments by mapping and graphing geographic data. Geographic data are compiled, organized, stored and made visible using traditional and geospatial technologies. Students need to be able to access, read, interpret and create maps and other geographic representations as tools of analysis.

Second grade students begin to interpret the information found in maps. At this level, students understand that maps can answer the following questions:

Where is something located? What is the place like?

The names of places on the map indicate location relative to other places on the maps.

Map symbols explain the physical characteristics of places on the map. Grade appropriate – “landforms” which include plateaus, island, hills, mountains and valleys.

Bodies of water include creeks, ponds, lakes and oceans.

Map Keys explain what each symbol means.

FIVE THEMES OF GEOGRAPHY

LOCATION: Everything on Earth has its own location – the place where it can be found. Location can be absolute or relative.

Absolute location provides a definite reference to locate a place, (latitude and longitude or an address). Relative location describes a place with respect to its environment and its connection to other places.

PLACE: Every place has physical and human features that make it different from all other places. Physical features are formed by nature. They would include such things as mountains, rivers, beaches,

topography, and animal and plant life of a place. Human feature are made by people. They would include such things as the human designed cultural features

of a place, from land use and architecture to forms of livelihood and religion to food and folk ways to transportation and communication networks.

HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS: People and their surroundings interact, or affect each other. People’s activities may change the environment. The environment may affect people. Sometimes people must change how they live to fit into their surroundings.

REGIONS: Areas of Earth with main features that make them different from other areas are called regions. A region can be described by its physical features or its human features. Regions divide the world into manageable chunks for geographic study.

MOVEMENT: People, goods, and ideas move every day. They move in our state, our country, and around the world.

Grade 2 Science - 2019 Archdiocese of Cincinnati Page 2

Page 3: GRADE 1 MATHMETICS€¦  · Web viewGRADE 2 SOCIAL STUDIES. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has established the following . Social Studies. standards based on the most current teachings

PLACES AND REGIONS: A place is a location having distinctive characteristics, which give it meaning and character and distinguish it from other locations. A region is an area with one or more common characteristics, which give it a measure of homogeneity and make it different from surrounding areas. Regions and places are human constructs.

Second grade students learn that human characteristics include language, religion and population distribution. They also learn that physical characteristics include landforms, climate, soil as a hydrology and that physical environment constrains human activity. In that, some locations are better than others for a specific kind of work.

HUMAN SYSTEMS: Human systems represent the settlement and structures created by people on Earth’s surface. The growth, distribution and movements of people are driving forces behind human and physical events. Geographers study patterns in cultures and the changes that result from human processes, migrations and the diffusion of new cultural traits.

Students in second grade learn that people depend upon the physical environment to survive, and modify the physical environment to suit their needs. Adaptations have both positive and negative consequences.

Second graders also learn that culture is the learned behavior of a group of people which includes their belief systems, language, social relationships, institutions and organizations. Material goods are also part of culture. Students examine the different ways various cultures meet basic needs.

GOVERNMENT - Students use knowledge of the purposes, structures and processes of political systems at the local, state, national and international levels to understand that people create systems of government as structures of power and authority to provide order, maintain stability and promote the general welfare. They use knowledge of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in order to examine and evaluate civic ideals and to participate in community life and the American democratic system.

CIVIC PARTICIPATION AND SKILLS: Civic participation embraces the ideal that an individual actively engages in his or her community, state or nation for the common good. Students need to practice effective communication skills including negotiation, compromise and collaboration. Skills in accessing and analyzing information are essential for citizens in a democracy.

Second grade students understand that personal accountability also includes: making responsible choices; taking responsibility for personal actions and respecting others.

Second graders also learn how to work responsibly and cooperatively in a group to solve a problem for which the group is responsible.

RULES AND LAWS: Rules play an important role in guiding behavior and establishing order in families, classrooms and organizations. Laws are enacted by governments to perform similar functions.

ROLES AND SYSTEMS OF GOVERNMENT: The purpose of government in the United States is to establish order, protect the rights of individuals and promote the common good. Governments may be organized in different ways and have limited or unlimited powers.

Page 4: GRADE 1 MATHMETICS€¦  · Web viewGRADE 2 SOCIAL STUDIES. The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has established the following . Social Studies. standards based on the most current teachings

In grade two, students explore the idea that there are different rules that apply to behavior in different settings.

ECONOMICS - Students use economic reasoning skills and knowledge of major economic concepts, issues and systems in order to make informed choices as producers, consumers, savers, investors, workers and citizens in an interdependent world.

ECONOMIC DECISION MAKING AND SKILLS: Effective economic decision making requires students to be able to reason logically about key economic issues that affect their lives as consumers, producers, savers, investors, and citizens. Economic decision making and skills engage students in the practice of analyzing costs and benefits, collecting and organizing economic evidence, and proposing alternatives to economic problems.

Second graders learn to use bar graphs to compare the amounts of frequency of occurrence of different characteristics of data. They learn that bar graphs are useful in comparing quantities.

SCARCITY: There are not enough resources to produce all the goods and services that people desire.

MARKETS: Markets exist when buyers and sellers interact. This interaction determines market prices and thereby allocates scarce resources, goods and services.

FINANCIAL LITERACY: Financial literacy is the ability of individuals to use knowledge and skills to manage limited financial resources effectively for lifetime financial security.

Second graders understand that people earn income (money) by working at jobs. People can save a portion of their income for the purchase of future goods and services.
