Our social studies curriculum
At St. Mark Lutheran School, the study of history is the study of “His Story,” the Lord’s creation. Students will gain a broad perspective of our world through the study of world, United States, and Wisconsin state history. Other components include instruction in government, civics, economics and geography.
Instruction and activities in each of these areas are structured to help students develop the following skills: critical thinking, decision making, understanding cause and effect relationships, and comparing fact and opinion. Activities used to foster this development include reading charts, graphs, maps, and daily discussion of current events. The goal of these experiences is to give our students the necessary tools to be active citizens in God’s world. |
