Ohio’s Social Studies Model Curriculum complements Ohio’s Learning Standards for Social Studies, adopted by the State Board of Education in 2018. Teachers may use the learning standards as a foundation for instruction and the Model Curriculum as a tool to support instructional planning. This document includes content elaborations that clarify and support the learning standards for teachers. Expectations for learning are statements that specify what students should know and be able to do. They also provide guidance for how students may be assessed. Following the adoption of Ohio’s Learning Standards for Social Studies, the Ohio Department of Education recruited teams of educators to develop the Social Studies Model Curriculum. Stakeholders commented on suggested changes to a draft of the K-12 Model Curriculum during a month-long survey that closed in September 2018. The Department incorporated these suggestions into the model curriculum, where appropriate. The State Board of Education adopted the Model Curriculum in June 2019. Each Child, Our Future and Social Studies Each Child, Our Future is Ohio’s five-year strategic plan to ensure each student enjoys a bright future thanks to an excellent pre K-12 education experience. The plan’s vision is for each child to be challenged to discover and learn, be prepared to pursue a fulfilling post-high school path and empowered to become a resilient, lifelong learner who contributes to society. Ohio’s Learning Standards and Model Curriculum for Social Studies support students’ acquisition of foundational knowledge and skills, well-rounded content, leadership and reasoning skills, and social-emotional learning, the four equal learning domains Each Child, Our Future recognizes as contributing to the success of the whole child. OHIO’S MODEL CURRICULUM | SOCIAL STUDIES | ADOPTED JUNE 2019 4 Social Studies Model Curriculum, K-8 Kindergarten STRAND: HISTORY TOPIC: HISTORICAL THINKING AND SKILLS Content Statement 1. Time can be measured. CONTENT ELABORATION Children use chronological vocabulary to distinguish broad categories of time. These early skills are foundational to an understanding of chronological order and timelines. Examples of chronological vocabulary include: • past: long ago, yesterday, last week, last month, last year, before kindergarten; • present: today, now, right now, kindergarten; and • future: tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, first grade. EXPECTATIONS FOR LEARNING Use chronological vocabulary correctly. Content Statement 2. Personal history can be shared through stories and pictures. CONTENT ELABORATION As children begin developing a sense of time, they can practice talking about personal stories of their past (e.g., birth, toddler, and preschool). At this level, children begin to share their personal histories through conversation, dramatic play, drawing pictures, writing, and other appropriate representations. EXPECTATIONS FOR LEARNING Communicate personal history through stories and pictures.

Heritage is reflected through diverse cultures and is shown through the arts, customs, traditions, family celebrations, and language. CONTENT ELABORATION Heritage includes the ideas and events from the past that have shaped the world as it is today. Evidence of heritage is revealed through diverse cultures and is shown through the arts, customs, traditions, family celebrations, and languages of groups of people. Children have opportunities to share family customs, traditions, and celebrations to develop
