I have learnt from this course about 10 curriculum standards for the social studies which are important for designing about the social environment studies for young children. I have learnt that as an educator, I have a responsibility to connect the children to the world. When the children growth, children can know everything that is happening around them. The teacher can bring issues to the class, let the children discuss it, and let them share their opinions. For example, this sudden outbreak of covid-19. Teachers and parents can discuss this issues with children through some activities to learn more about coronavirus. In addition, I have learnt that field trip is important part for the children to learn about the culture and environment. Children can learn best and fast through field trip experience.

I need to learn how to integrated the social studies with different subjects, for instance, designing the lesson plan of social studies with different kinds of subjects and also activities. Besides, I also need to learn how to help children to improve awareness of nature, for example through some events or activities.
