Social Studies in Kindergarten is a multi-faceted curriculum, focusing on home, school, community, cultural traditions, and history.  Kidsmarts is Greenbriar’s social and emotional literacy program.  Students work together with their teachers to explore how to work with others, get along with peers, and solve problems in peaceful ways.  By the end of Kindergarten, we expect students to do the following within each area:
