Our Community
The Our Community series of curriculum-based workbooks are designed as guides to help 1st and 2nd grade students learn about history and communities. Each book contains history, science, math, social studies and language arts, as well as kid-friendly language and activities students will enjoy. You will also find that each page addresses at least one current state curriculum standard, meaning they are teaching resources you can rely on.
