My World: Social Studies for K-2

Grade K-2 · Christian · NGSS/CCSS-aligned

You run one small activity a week from a script, and we tell you what to grab, what to say, and what to listen for. Clara checks in with your child on screen for five minutes, out loud. By June you own a shelf of things your child actually made: a story book they authored, a family constitution, working maps, and a sealed time capsule.
