This is it — Lesson 40! You have completed all of Grade 1 Social Studies. Today you will hold your own Social Studies Fair — a special presentation where you share everything you learned with your family.

What is a Social Studies Fair?

  • A fair is an event where people display and share their work.
  • At your Social Studies Fair, you will lay out your best projects and be the expert — explaining what each one is and what you learned from making it.
  • Your audience is your family — they are there to be proud of you!

  • Your Recycling Sort and Pledge (Lesson 38)
  • Your Review Star (Lesson 39)

How to present

  • For each project, say: "This is my ___ . I made it for Lesson ___. I learned that ___."
  • Speak clearly and point to parts of your work as you explain.
  • After presenting, invite your family to ask one question about anything they find interesting.
