People, Communities, Histories
K-4 Social Studies at Manheim Central School District
As children grow, they develop the capacity to think outside of themselves. Our Social Studies curriculum expands outward to support that development. We begin by celebrating each other, our families and our school community. Students branch out to learn about the community of Manheim and the agricultural landscape and industry of Lancaster County. Before heading to Middle School, students learn about citizenship, government and civics, economics, geography and the Early Settlers in U.S. History.
Highlights include:
- Field Trips to the Manheim Community Farm Show in Kindergarten, First and Second Grades
- A Community Walking Tour in First Grade
- Field Trip to the Hershey Museum in Second Grade
- Field Trip to Walnut Run Dairy Farm in Third Grade
- Field Trips to the Capital Building and Lititz Springs Park/ Rohrer's Quarry in Fourth Grade
