National
Standards for History, K–4, Expanded Edition,
1994
The
National Standards for History for Grades K–4 provides a rich resource
for elementary teachers in developing and extending their social studies
programs. Building upon children’s immediate interests in the “here and
now,” these standards reach out in space and back in time to explore the
history of children’s families and of the men, women, and children of many
ethnic, racial, religious, and cultural backgrounds who have contributed
to the development of children’s own community, their state, nation, and
the world. Experienced teachers of young children have developed the many
lively examples of children’s active learning of these standards, specific
to grades K–2 and 3–4. Rich in literature, writing and research activities,
civic learnings, and investigations into historical geography of their
communities and state, these standards provide imaginative ideas for unifying
classroom instruction in history with instruction in geography, civics,
economics, science, literature, and the arts. From kindergarten onward
these standards present peoples and cultures throughout the world and stories,
legends and heroic tales which are part of the cultural heritage of the
world.
