Mini Lesson

Every person in the world is special — and that includes you! Social studies starts right here, with the most important topic of all: who you are.

Your identity

  • Your name is your own special label — no one else in the world is exactly like you.
  • You have an age that tells how many years you have been alive.
  • You are in Grade 1 — that is the level you are learning at.

Your family

  • Your family is the group of people who love and care for you at home.
  • Families come in all shapes and sizes — big, small, and everything in between.

Your home

  • You live in a city or town — a place where many families live together.
  • Your city is part of a bigger place called a community.

What makes you unique

  • Your interests are the things you love to do — drawing, running, reading, building.
  • No two people have exactly the same combination of name, family, home, and interests.
