Social Studies

Our United States of America Catholic Social Studies by Oliver Corrigan A fourth-grade course on the United States of America that is full-color, Catholic, and current! The author’s engaging text introduces students to the geography, history, economy, and culture of all fifty states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. territories. In addition, students will study in depth the history, culture, and Catholic heritage of 20 featured states in four regions: Northeastern, Midwestern, Southern, and Western. Each of the featured states is accompanied by a “Catholic Heritage” chapter, which tells the story of an American Catholic hero such as St. Isaac Jogues; Charles Carroll of Carrollton; and Venerable Frank Parater, Eagle Scout. Meanwhile, “Mysteries of History,” “A Nation Built by Immigrants,” and “Did You Know?” sidebars introduce students to people and topics such as the Bill of Rights, Haym Salomon, Ethan Allen, the Industrial Revolution, and the Mason-Dixon Line. The Student Workbook provides exercises, enrichment activities, reviews and tests, and a complete answer key. The workbook concludes with a step-by-step, 40-page guide to exploring the history, geography, economy, and culture of the student’s own state. By the end of this nine-week “State Study,” the student will have put together a written and oral report on his state, illustrated by maps, photos, and drawings. While the student is gaining an in-depth knowledge of his own state, he will also be learning valuable researching and writing skills! Full-color Student Text: 210 pgs.
