🌍 People & Places
Social studies from Pre-K to high school: history, maps and the world, communities and government, and money and work, after the C3 Framework. The early grades widen from me and my family to my town, state, country and world; history from 3rd grade runs in era order. Civics stays non-partisan.
🏰 History & Stories of the Past
From a child's own past to long ago, then from 3rd grade in era order: the ancient world, the Middle Ages, the age of exploration and the modern world, and how historians know.

Geography: land and water, maps and globes, continents, map tools, my state and the fifty states, climates and how people live, and the tools that map the world today.

Economics and personal finance: spending and saving, needs and wants, jobs and shops, banks and budgets, markets and prices, interest and investing, paychecks and credit, and the whole economy. Pretend money only.
