Yes! EWW incorporates the 10 Thematic Strands recommended by the National Council for the Social Studies and the 5 Themes and 6 Essential Elements of geography through age-appropriate activities that integrate civics, culture, economics, geography, and history.
Students are introduced to people and places both at home and around the world as they explore themes such as me, families, friends, seasons, holidays, town, farm, land and water, the United States, and the world.
Students explore people and places in their neighborhood and identify neighborhood needs. They look at places to live, needs and wants, workers, and rules in a neighborhood. Their view then expands to the United States and the world.
Students explore people and places in a community, focusing on goods and services, producers and consumers, government, economics, and geography. Students relate these concepts to their own community and to others in the United States and the world.
Students focus on a variety of communities and their characteristics, exploring concepts such as size, location, climate, history, and common needs, such as places to live and work, transportation and communication, laws and leaders. They look at their own community, as well as other communities in the United States and the world.
