1. that when teaching preschoolers social studies, the topic should be relatable to a young child.
2. A young preschool aged child should learn about a place they have probably been to or could take a field trip to.
3. It is good to provide as many real items about that topic to hold and explore and not just look at pictures.
4. I prefer to have special guests teach the children about their own culture then for me to try to explain something that I have no personal knowledge or experience about.
5. With preschool it is fun and helpful to really get to know and involve the whole family.

1. For preschoolers, we try to incorporate pictures of different cultures around the classroom.
2. We also do dual language in our lesson plans and two days of the week. We incorporate different pieces of art, menus, or materials of different cultures in our classroom as well. We try to at least.
3. We try to explain different cultures and have guests who can share their experience with our preschoolers.

# data[].attributes.body
The familiar methods that I know and have done is to always involve the students . For them to describe  their experiences in their culture. It is always important to show REAL pictures of other cultures and even better real physical things. Students can bring there family's picture and can talk about things they do at home as a family ( pictures can tell 1000 words). When children travel out of the sate , they always bring back a souvenir and do a show and tell in class. When any holiday comes around, always ask respectfully if its okay to talk about it with students. Most of the time parents are happy that their child is learning about other traditions and cultures.

I want to know how to respond to children when they have different beliefs than others. For example if a child celebrates a certain day example Halloween, and the other child starts saying negative comments about it. What's a respectfully way to respond?

What I do know about teaching Social Studies when I do teach in a classroom of preschoolers was teaching about their community, what is in their neighborhood, how to keep our environment and our world clean and healthy, learning about their culture and asking open-ended questions about who they who they are and what are some of the cultural backgrounds.

During my years at kennewick school district, I have always worked in primary grades in special education for the most part, with the exception of this school year. When teaching our littles about Social Studies, we have always used topics about different people in the community, different cultures, and significant historical events. Methods we would use were a lot of arts and crafts, books, and videos.

What I would like to learn is what does it look like for students in general education when teaching Social Studies. I have always worked in special education, so there is a lot of modification that we do for our students in the subjects that we teach.

I honestly do not think I know much about teaching social studies. I have always worked with younger aged children and I have focused more on show and tell rather than paperwork and worksheets. For example, I have the children bring something that defines their culture from home and they can share with the class.

Something that I know about social studies is that we teach children the differences in the cultures around us. This could mean having books and labels. Another thing would be children learning about occupations for example, when a firefighter comes they may bring their truck and children can learn about them and the truck they drive. This could potential involve going on field trips and seeing the fire department.

I have learned that social studies is how students learn about the world and can be taught in a hands-on and interactive way.
