Within these parameters, we will look at Native Americans, the rise of colonization, the American Revolution, the Civil War, Reconstruction, the Industrial Revolution, the Progressive Era, World War I, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War Era, and the war on terrorism.
BizTown
At the end of March, the entire fourth grade will venture to uptown Charlotte and experience a day at the amazing BizTown! Prior to this, students will complete the BizTown curriculum which teaches the students the fundamentals of economics and finance (both personal and business). Students will learn about supply and demand, how to open (and balance) a checking account, creation of a business, and many other things.
