Students engage in social studies units that create an understanding of past and present social, economic, geographic, cultural, and political issues. To promote historical learning, Lantrip hosts many special events throughout the year. This year students learned about the importance of voting. On Election Day, each student was given a registration card and participated in a mock election. Every year second grade students create a “wax museum” based on extensive research of famous people. Students, parents and community members are invited to learn interesting facts about prominent figures. Holidays and heritage months such as Black History and Hispanic Heritage are celebrated through educational programs and assemblies.
