How do you find your way with a map scale? Who makes the laws in a town, a state and the whole country? Why did people come to America, and what did they build here? This second-grade social studies book takes young readers from their own neighborhood out to the whole nation.

Ten units follow the full year: map skills and continents; urban, suburban and rural communities; how communities change; government and laws; citizens and their responsibilities; the many peoples who built the nation; producers, consumers and trade; landmarks, symbols and national parks; natural resources; and heroes who showed courage and fairness. Every lesson follows a steady path: I can, Warm-Up, Learn, Watch Me, Try It Together, Your Turn and a Quick Check.

Classmates Nia, Theo and Sami explore their town of Maple Grove, read old photos like historians and practice being good citizens. Balanced, accurate and non-partisan, with a grown-up helper named on every activity. Written by Claude (AI) for EducationAI.
