| Home, school, community,
people, cultures, the earth . . . the world around us can
be mind-boggling for children. Swim into Social Studies
levels 1, 2 and 3 - part of INNOVA Multimedia’s A
Whale of a TaleŽ series - guides young learners through
basic geography and social concepts, helping them
discover the role they play in the big, big world in
which we live. In level 1, Little
Blue, a baby blue whale, and his underwater friends,
introduce early learners to geography by focusing on
places they already know: their home, school and
community. They learn why we need rules and why jobs
(like cleaning up your room!) are so important. The
lessons in level 2 expand children’s horizons a
little, looking at populations, the value of
transportation, and how our community is actually part of
a whole global village. By level 3, young learners –
now adventurous explorers - are learning to use a
compass, identify climate zones and understand how
history is written in nature through things like fossils
and cave dwellings.
In each of the three levels of Swim
into Social Studies, lessons include quizzes as well as
reinforcement games and activities, ensuring that
learning is both challenging and fun. Laying the
groundwork in social studies is not only an important
part of a child’s education, it’s also an
important part of their social development. Understanding
the size and complexity of our world is the first step to
social responsibility.
